Christoph Mann studied sound engineering and works at the Hybrid Music Lab at the Dresden University of Music. He began his musical education as a member of the Dresdner Kreuzchor and continued his studies as a sound engineer at the Erich-Thienhaus-Institut in Detmold. During this time, he worked primarily in the fields of classical recording, filmsound/sounddesign and electronic music. Later, he delved deeper into audio programming and wrote his diploma thesis on the topic of "Conception, Development, and Evaluation of a System for Real-Time Control of Large Parameter Groups."

He won the 2010 Young Talent Award of the Association of German Sound Engineers (VDT) in the Sound Art category, as well as second prize in the Baden-Württemberg region's Sound Design E-Mobility competition in 2012.

He is responsible for the university website and, together with a team of web editors and external service providers, implemented its complete relaunch in 2017. His responsibilities include the operation and further development of all website subsystems; in this context, he is also the main contact for the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich's more than 50 web editors.

At the Hybrid Music Lab, he set up the digital equipment rental system in 2020, which enables the rental of several hundred different items to over 600 students.
As part of the third-party funded project "Digital Music Education," he was significantly involved in the development of modern teaching methods for the "Music and Digitality" module and is currently responsible for its implementation at the HfM, which includes organizing workshops on current topics and the conception and production of a constantly growing collection of digital tutorials.

As technical director of the HML, he is the contact person for all student projects and has collaborated on numerous sophisticated multimedia concerts with a wide variety of artists, including Daniel Teruggi, Agostino Di Scipio, Chaya Czernowin, Sarah Nemtsov, Simon Steen-Andersen, Hans Tutschku, Martin Schüttler, Johannes Kreidler, Wolfgang Mitterer, Hanna Hartmann, Gerhard Stäbler, Robin Minard, and many others. In this context, he is also responsible for the planning and implementation of concerts by the live electronic ensemble Sound & Fury, in addition to the HfM, also at locations such as the Frequenz Festival in Kiel, the Konrad-Zuse Museum Hoyerswerda or the ZKM Karlsruhe.
