We will sorely miss his enthus= iasm, his energy, his critical sense, his kindness and his unique sense of = humour. After his secondary education in Germany, Christian decided to move to Fran= ce - a country he never stopped loving - to study psychology at the Univers= ity of Paris Descartes, now Universit=E9 Paris Cit=E9. He obtained his Mast= er's degree in Experimental Psychology in 2001, and it was there that he me= t his future Ph.D. thesis supervisor, Christian Lorenzi, with whom he began= an intense collaboration on the auditory perception of complex temporal en= velopes. His work combining psychoacoustics, experimental audiology and neu= ropsychology helped to validate the idea that a central non-linearity disto= rts the internal representation of temporal envelopes. This thesis, awarded= in 2005 and brilliant in many respects, was followed by a move to the UK f= or a five-year postdoctoral fellowship at the Department of Psychology, Uni= versity of Cambridge, under the supervision of Brian C.J. Moore, with whom = he developed and refined his knowledge of psychoacoustics and audiology. During this period, which was rich in work on normal hearing and hearing lo= ss, he carried out numerous studies on the effects of training on temporal = envelope perception and auditory scene analysis. He actively collaborated o= n speech perception and hearing aid rehabilitation with Michael Stone and T= homas Baer, who became dear friends. Christian got his first permanent job = as Senior Investigator Scientist at the MRC Institute of Hearing Research i= n Nottingham, UK. From 2010 to 2018, Christian F=FCllgrabe initiated the re= search programme that gave him international recognition as a leading exper= t on the effects of ageing on hearing. The work published during this perio= d, carried out on large cohorts of participants and with rare experimental = rigour, demonstrates the effect of age on the auditory processing of tempor= al cues, and especially the processing of temporal fine structure cues. It = is at this point that he started studying the contribution of cognitive abi= lities such as working memory to the perception of speech in noise for indi= viduals with both normal hearing and impaired hearing. From 2018 to 2022, he obtained a position as Lecturer in Psychology at the = School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences of Loughborough University, U= K. In 2022, he took up a position as Associate Professor in Audiological Sc= iences at the UCL Ear Institute in London. At UCL, Christian was growing hi= s new group, preparing new research programmes, developing new teaching mod= ules, and looking forward to new collaborations with colleagues at the Ear = Institute and beyond. Christian led a full life, and was devoted to his daughter Enora, whom he l= oved deeply and often took with him on visits to France. A tireless and met= iculous worker, an experimentalist at heart, a refined mind with a rare cul= ture and a faithful friend, he has left a deep impression on all those who = crossed his path. We will never forget him. Christian Lorenzi, Brian Moore, Jonathan Gale and Jennifer Linden Prof. Brian C. J. Moore, Ph.D., PFBSA, FMedSci, FRS, Dr. h.c.
