Location: Newton Building Room G11
Profile
I am a full time PhD student at the Acoustics Research Centre, working in the area of audio quality in small rooms. I am studying prediction and modeling of sound fields in rooms for sound reproduction in an attempt to identify and profile novel metrics for the characterisation of such spaces. My research is entitled ‘Profiling the Effects of Reflections on Phantom Imaging in Small Rooms through Computational Acoustic Modelling and Signal Processing’, and is supervised by Dr. Bruno Fazenda and Prof. Jamie Angus.
