Rolf Bader
*1969 in Stuttgart, Germany
Rolf Bader is Professor for Systematic Musicology in Hamburg since 2007. His main research interests are Physical Modeling of Musical Instruments, Timbre and Rhythm Perception, Musical Signal Processing, and Room Acoustics. He is editor of the Springer Series Current Research in Systematic Musicology where in he published a monograph Nonlinearities and Synchronization in Musical Acoustics and Music Psychology, as well as Computational Phonogram Archiving and Sound-Perception-Performance as an editor. He is the editor of the Springer Handbook of Systematic Musicology, published in 2018. His work in music neurocognition includes models of the cochlear and neurons for music perception. He also works as an Ethnomusicologist mainly in Southeast Asia (Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Bali, Nepal, Thailand, Cambodia). His interest in Music Theory lead to a Syllogistic Music Theory founding Tonal Systems on Logic, as well as Music Semantics and Musical Ethics founded on the Sentence of Reason (Zur Herleitung musikalischer Bedeutung und musikalischer Ethik. Peter Lang Verlag, 2006). He is member of several scientific societies and on the Technical Committee Board of Musical Acoustics of the American Acoustical Society and co-chair of Musical Acoustics section of the German Acoustical Society and participates in many international work groups also organizing the International Summer School for Systematic Musicology in Hamburg (EU Erasmus Program) from 2012 on. He is also a musician and composer in the fields of free improvised and electronic music, as well as Fusion and Rock, and published several CDs here.

Jost Leonhardt Fischer
*1970 in Potsdam, Germany
Jost Leonhardt Fischer has been a postdoctoral researcher in the Institute of Systematic Musicology at University of Hamburg, since 2014. His current research focuses on applications of nonlinear dynamics and oscillation theory in musical acoustics. Topics include, inter alia, synchronization phenomena in acoustical waveguides, nonlinearities in sound generation and sound radiation, investigations of the interplay of flows, turbulent layers and field as well as numerical simulations of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Jost Leonhardt Fischer studied physics at the University of Potsdam, Germany. In his Diploma thesis (2012) he investigated synchronization phenomena of nonlinear acoustic oscillators, from both a numerical and a theoretical perspective. In 2014 he received a Ph.D. in theoretical physics. In his Ph.D. thesis, he studied nonlinear coupling mechanisms of acoustic oscillators with a focus on synchronization of organ pipes.
