  Thomas Lunner is a Today Dr Lunner is Director, Augmented Hearing at Reality Labs Research at Meta. Previous experiences: The outcome of Dr. Lunner’s Ph.D project was a presentation, in co-operation with the Danish hearing aid manufacturer Oticon in 1995, of the very first hearing aid based on digital signal processing: the DigiFocus. The core of this project was a digital filter bank which provided the necessary tuning flexibility with an equally important low power consumption. The filter bank was used in several successive hearing aid models in the years that followed, fitted to millions of hearing aid users worldwide. Two of the models were awarded the European Union´s prestigious technology prize, the IST Grand Prize in 1996 and in 2003. Dr. Lunner continued his scientific career by going into man-machine issues in terms of the correlation between hearing and cognition. He was the first scientist to convincingly show the importance of cognitive ability in relation to being able to recognize speech, in particular in adverse listening conditions. He also demonstrated how working memory was a significant factor for the selection of optimum signal processing in hearing aids to be fitted to a particular individual. These studies led to increasing co-operation with other research groups globally, and the establishment of cognitive hearing science as a research field of its own. Further, as a result of Dr. Lunner’s contributions, the cognitive hearing science group at Linköping University was awarded a 10-year research grant from the Swedish Research Council (2008-2018). The activities in this new research field included organizing five biannual international conferences on Cognitive Hearing Science in Communication. In total, Dr. Lunner has authored over 200 scholarly articles, that have been cited in around 12000 works by other researchers in the international scientific community. H-index 54 Additionally, Dr. Lunner has reviewed manuscripts submitted to over 20 leading scientific journals in the fields of audiology, speech transmission, cognition and neuroscience. He has reviewed grant applications for funding agencies in Denmark, the UK, and Canada. Further, Dr. Lunner was leading 40 employees at Eriksholm Research Centre. Over the years, he has established close co-operation with a large number of research groups in Europe, the U.S., Canada and Australia. He was elected Alumnus of the Year by Linköping University in 2016, and awarded the First William Demant Fellowship for his critical role in scoping the future of audiology (2017). More than 40 patents.
