Katelyn Emerson, supervised by Peter Harrison, joined the Centre for Music and Science in 2022. Her research interests include music performance pedagogy and analysis, linguistics, psychology, and ergonomics and injury prevention. Her PhD research investigates explicit and implicit contextual influences on organists’ rubato and articulation, informed by her background as a concertising musician.
Katelyn has performed extensively as a concert organist in venues throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. She holds degrees from Oberlin College and Conservatory (BMus in organ, BA in French), Conservatoire de Toulouse (perfectionnement), Musikhochschule Stuttgart (MA organ), and the University of Cambridge (MPhil music). Her doctoral research is funded through a 3+1 Economic and Social Science Research Council Studentship and a UK Research and Innovation International Fee Bursary.
