Professional/research interests:
Virtual acoustics and digital signal processing. Have previously worked with developing microphone arrays, acoustic rendering software for virtual reality, and room acoustics.
What would you like UKAN to do for you?
Help me make connections with acousticians based in the UK or worldwide and make me aware of career opportunities in acoustics.
How would you like to contribute to UKAN?
Connections at the Institute of Technical acoustics (ITA) at RWTH Aachen Germany where I am doing my MSc and have worked as a research assistant. A fledgling knowledge of acoustics and virtual acoustics .
Professional/research interests:
My field of interest is bioacoustic and evolutionary biology. In particular, I am investigation the acoustic behavioural plasticity and how this ability might vary between individuals of the same or different populations. I am also interested in underwater anthropogenic noise and how it can affect the communication between individuals.
What would you like UKAN to do for you?
I would like to get in contact with the Early Carrier group and attend the Summer School this August. I would love to extend my network contact with other PhD colleges and early Post-doc researchers.
How would you like to contribute to UKAN?
I can bring my expertise in both underwater and aerial bioacoustic recording and sound analysis, under an interspecific comparative approach.
Professional/research interests:
As a mechanical engineer I have spent several years of my academic and industrial career in engineering acoustic problems including NVH tests, muffler design and analysis, impedance tube development for both commercial usage and in-house research activities, shock and vibration analysis of structures for land vehicles and surface ships, etc. I also developed code in Matlab to investigate sound propagation in aerosol media through ducts numerically.
