As a music psychology scholar, Dr Amanda Krause studies how we experience music in our everyday lives from a psychological perspective. Findings from her research have made significant contributions to understanding how listening technologies influence people's experiences and her current research asks how our musical experiences influence our health and well-being. 

Dr Krause is the author of numerous academic publications and currently serves as President of the Australian Music & Psychology Society (AMPS). External engagement and research translation is fundamental to her research. She works with music industry companies, performing arts organisations, mental health practices, radio providers, and aged-care facilities to conduct community-focused and community-engaged research. She has also spoken on her research to academics and industry leaders at conferences around the world, to students through programs like Skype A Scientist and STEM Professionals in Schools, and to members of the general public via radio show appearances and events like Pint of Science.
