after completing technical school for electrical engineering, Piotr Majdak started to study audio engineering at the University of Technology in Graz (TU-Graz) and at the University of Music and Dramatic Arts in Graz (KUG). During his studies, he was employed by Schuster Messtechnik in St.Radegund/Styria, where he developed hardware and software for measurement and control devices. Piotr Majdak graduated with an M.Sc. thesis titled, "Implementierung kopfpositionsbezogener Binauraltechnik" (Implementation of a head related binaural technique), in which he deals with a real-time binaural system called Ambisonic. Using Ambisonic for the sound reproduction allowed for the inclusion of the listener’s head movements without the need for time-variant filtering, and therefore reducing the computational power. As part of the thesis, the binaural system was implemented for a digital signal processor platform including a head-tracker. After his studies, he joined the Acoustics Research Institute in August 2002 as junior researched. In Mai 2008, he finished his PhD. about sound lateralization in cochlear-implant listeners. He teaches "Algorithmen in Akustik und Computermusik" (algorithms in acoustic and computer music) at the Institute for Eelectronic Music and Acoustics in Graz.

His current work at the Acoustics Research Institute includes software development for an experimental framework that will be used to perform psychoacoustic experiments dealing with normal-hearing and cochlear implant listeners. In the meantime, Piotr and Bernhard Laback are working on the design of psychoacoustic experiments with cochlear implant listeners. These experiments include investigating the salience of fine structure and envelope, and research on the interaural time differences in electrical hearing.
