Dr. Berndt studied computer science with a minor in music at Otto-von-Guericke University in Magdeburg. He conducted research and teaching in music informatics at the Department of Simulation and Graphics, earning his PhD in 2011. From 2012 to 2015, he worked at the Faculty of Computer Science at Technische Universität Dresden. From 2015 to 2023, he was a member of the Center for Music and Film Informatics in Detmold. Since 2023, he has been with the University of Paderborn.
Professor Berndt's research focuses on the innovative potential of music informatics, exploring how digital tools and data formats enrich creative work with sound and music. His work bridges disciplines including human-technology interaction, musicology, and application domains such as the games industry, organ building, and museum technology. He investigates how digital media enable new approaches to sound and music, even for non-experts, with particular interest in interactive systems, music performance analysis, and digital music editions. His research emphasizes the practical application of theoretical concepts through immediate interdisciplinary exchange.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on music technology applications, with particular emphasis on music performance markup, interactive music systems, and digital tools for musicians. A recurring theme across his work is the intersection of traditional musicology with modern computational approaches, especially in the areas of music notation, performance analysis, and digital music editions. His research spans from practical implementations like the Detmold musical Instrument Timbre Explorer (DmITE) to theoretical explorations of music performance description.
