Dr. Stéphane Elmosnino is a French-Australian educator with extensive experience in the tertiary sector built upon a long-standing career as a musician and audio professional. His research investigates the pedagogy of critical listening in sound engineering, focusing on communicative approaches to teaching, and on taxonomic classifications for assessing listening skills.
He is also a prolific practitioner: Avid-certified Pro Tools expert and instructor with professional credits including over 100 productions, 1000 recordings, and 3000 live performances. His professional practice bridges scholarship and industry to advance both the study and teaching of sound.
Building on this academic and industry experience, he also brings expertise in educational management, applying systems thinking to enhance quality assurance and operational efficiency. He excels at developing elegant workflows and empowering teams through clear communication, empathic leadership, and practical solutions that reduce friction.
