About Kristen Bellisario, PhD
A scientist who has spent a career listening.
Kristen Bellisario is a soundscape ecologist, quantitative researcher, educator, and experience creator. Her work asks what the sounds of a place can reveal about wildlife, ecological change, and our own relationship with the living world.
Field-to-public translator
At Purdue University and through collaborative conservation work, she has designed field studies, led interdisciplinary projects, mentored student researchers, and turned complex findings into useful stories, tools, exhibits, and public experiences.
An uncommon perspective
Her background also spans museums, environmental interpretation, computational musicology, technology, and healthy-living initiatives. Wild Resonance brings those threads together around one idea: healthy ecosystems and healthy lives are connected.
