A recipient of the "I. Veneziani" fellowship from the Italian Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, she carried out research in sound localization at Stanford University's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) where she is still a staff member.

Dr. Bosi worked for Digidesign developing audio digital signal processing (DSP) technology including dynamic range controller and music analysis/synthesis algorithms. She is currently employed by Dolby Laboratories working on high quality, low bit rate audio coding. Dr. Bosi is involved with the development of international standards on low bit rate coding and is a US representative in the ISO/IEC WG11 (MPEG), and ITU-R (formerly CCIR) standardization committees. The author of a number of publications on source coding for transmission and storage, her current area of interest is low bit rate coding with applications in music.
