Chief Audio Scientist at Syng. . co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Audyssey Laboratories from July 2002 to April 2018 (15 years 10 months). Established in 2002, Audyssey is the industry leader in research-based audio technologies that correct acoustical problems to optimize the sound quality of any device or listening environment. The company's technologies are integrated into home theater products, automobiles, TVs, mobile phones and movie theaters from industry-leading manufacturers.Some of Chris Kyriakakis's most recent work has involved creating and optimizing loudspeaker sound performance software. His current work focuses on total Signal Processing algorithms that can improve sound quality for audio signal processing tasks such as signal pre-processing, distortion modeling, noise reduction, and audio signal compression. He has also developed software for virtual Morgans and virtual loudspeakers, which can be used tocapture and recreate the acoustics of ancient structures.
