Education

Marina Bosi was born near Milan and raised in Florence. [2] She studied the flute with Severino Gazzelloni, and earned a diploma in the flute at the Conservatory of Music in Florence. [3] She then taught flute at the Conservatory of Music in Venice. She later went back to school at the University of Florence where she graduated with a doctorate in physics. [4] Her dissertation (developed and implemented through research at IRCAM in Paris) was “Design of a High-Speed Computer System for the Processing of Musical Sound".

Career

She served as chief technology officer at MPEG LA and as a vice president at Digital Theater Systems (DTS). At Dolby Laboratories she was part of the research team that developed the AC-2, AC-3, and led the international development of MPEG-2 Advanced Audio Coding technologies for which she was honored by ISO/IEC in 1998 as Project Editor of the MPEG-2 Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) standard. She has also worked on devising standards for audio and video technology and digital content. [5] Bosi was also a part of the research team that created the 5.1 channel Dolby Digital format. [6]

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. [7] She was a founding director of the Digital Media Project and served on its Board of Directors as Treasurer. [8] She is also a founding Board Member of MPAI [9] , 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 [4] and has received the AES Board of Governors and Fellowship awards. [3] 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."
