Marina Bosi

Marina Bosi is a Consulting Professor at Stanford University's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). Originally a flutist and flute teacher, she is known for her work on digital audio coding formats.

Education Marina Bosi was born near Milan and raised in Florence. She studied the flute with Severino Gazzelloni, and earned a diploma in the flute at the Conservatory of Music in Florence. Bosi was also a part of the research team that created the 5.1 channel Dolby Digital format.

Bosi came to the United States to be a visiting scholar at Stanford University's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). In the mid-1990s, she developed the first course in North America on perceptual audio coding at Stanford University, which led to the publication of a widely cited textbook in the field. She is also a founding Board Member of MPAI, an organization creating international standards for AI-based data coding, and chairs its Context-based Audio Enhancement standard.

She is a past president of the Audio Engineering Society and has received the AES Board of Governors and Fellowship awards. In 2019, Marina Bosi was presented with the AES Silver Medal Award "in recognition of outstanding achievements in the development and standardization of audio and video coding and of secure digital rights management."
