At June 25th, Fotis Georgiou will publicly defend his PhD thesis Modeling for auralization of urban environments: incorporation of directivity in sound propagation and analysis of a framework for auralizing a car pass-by (PDF). The defence is preceded by a symposium with presentations from Dr. Jens Ahrens, Dr. Tapio Lokki and two PhD students from Dutch…
An exciting 5-month period has started from the first of May, as I will spend this time on a research sabbatical at Aalto University and Stockholm University. I will work on (part) of a virtual acoustic technology that enable the blind to train human echolocation. It will be inspiring to work in different research environments…
The national public radio was interested in our research collaboration with Oculus and interviewed me at 24 April 2018. The interview (in Dutch) can be found here.
In January 2018, our Building Acoustics group has started a research collaboration with Oculus, well known for its virtual reality headsets. With this new research project, we aim to answer the question: How close get we get to reality with auralization from a wave-based methodology? We will carry out this research for a small living room sized space and the research will…
In week 3 of 2018, the first Acoutect Summer School was held in Gothenburg on Modern sustainable building concepts. During this meeting, the Early Stage Researchers of Acoutect met the supervisors for the very first time! Experiences of this week will soon be shared, keep an eye on http://www.acoutect.eu.
Remy Wenmaekers has successfully defended his PhD thesis on Stage acoustics and sound exposure at November 22nd at TU/e! The PhD thesis can be found at this website. The defence was very special, as it was the first time a PhD degree was issued by an associate professor in the Netherlands. (Pictures | Photodette)
At 19 October 2017, the Dutch TV program paid attention to our research on human echolocation. Our latest publications on human echolocation related to this movie fragment are the papers J34 and J36 in Journal Publications https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAO4DvLY2QY
At 27 September, Juan Emilio Noriega Linares from the university of Murcia (UCAM) defended his PhD thesis 'Analysis of the sound field and the annoyance of noise pollution in cities with the use of sensor networks'. I witnessed his defence as member of the doctorate committee. Congrats Juan Emilio!
Two journal papers from our group have recently been accepted or publication. One paper is part of the stage acoustics PhD project of Remy Wenmaekers, titled 'Sensitivity of stage acoustic parameters to source and receiver directivity: Measurements on three stages and in two orchestra pits', published Applied Acoustics. The other paper is on the role of…
The Acoutect website has been launched, please visit http://www.acoutect.eu. The project contains information on our project, and it is possible to apply for the 15 open positions of Early Stage Researchers! Last but not least, there is a logo competition. Money prizes will be give to the best logo and a second will be raffled…
