Summary
Cecilia Casarini is a Senior Research Engineer in Hearing and Acoustics at Apple with nine years of interdisciplinary experience spanning acoustics, DSP, prototyping, and hearing health research. She holds a PhD in Electronic and Electrical Engineering (Acoustics) and combines rigorous technical training with a classical music background—computer-grade acoustics informed by formal piano performance. At Apple she has led development of Hearing Health features, contributed to the Apple Hearing Study and Hearing Aid work, and collaborated with partners such as WHO and the University of Michigan on large-scale user studies. Cecilia blends machine learning, signal processing and hands-on measurement skills to move ideas from prototype to shipped features, and she won top honors in an internal ML hackathon as a PhD intern. Comfortable in diverse, international teams, she leverages travel and cross-cultural experience to connect technical solutions to real human needs. Her uncommon pairing of high-level musical sensitivity and quantitative acoustics gives her a distinct edge in designing products that improve everyday listening experiences for millions.
