Emily Graber is an interdisciplinary musician and researcher. Her creative practice explores embodied cognition and aesthetic appreciation of sound and music through interface design, composition, and perceptual studies. Graber’s creative work often features simultaneous expressions of gesture and sound, and interpretations of data and symbols in music. Graber has shown works at IRCAM, Banff, Stanford, Purdue, Lisbon, Oslo, and Allegheny College’s Galleries.

Graber was an Assistant Professor at Allegheny College in the Department of Computer and Information Science from 2023-2025. Before that, Graber was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique (IRCAM) in Paris, France. Her project, EAR Stretch, focused on augmenting listener enjoyment of contemporary classical music through embodied interactions with conductor control interfaces. She studied violin performance and physics at the University of Michigan and music technology at Stanford University.
