David Harbon
David's research area is 'quantifying Lombard effect by statistical analysis of sound pressure level of speech in diverse acoustic and noisy environments'
Supervisor: Dr Francis Li
Victoria Henshaw
My research is investigating the role of the sense of smell in the design of sustainable urban environments. I have undertaken olfactory (smell) walks with participants in Doncaster town centre and am also drawing from fieldwork carried out in Manchester, Sheffield and London on urban environmental quality as part of the Vivacity2020 Project.
Supervisor: Prof Trevor Cox
Michael Hudelmaier
Michael's research area is 'Inverse calculations of blocked forces in the time domain'.
Supervisor: Prof A Moorhouse
Richard Hughes
The aim of Richard's project is to develop an appropriate methodology for the design, measurement and analysis of a volumetric acoustic diffuser.
Supervisor: Prof Jamie Angus
Hyok Jeong
My research is on computer simulation for concert hall acoustics.
Supervisor: Prof Yiu Lam
Andrew King
Andrew's research area is 'Low frequency noise from large wind turbines'
Supervisor: Dr Sabine von Hunerbein
Zbigniew Koziel
I am investigating human exposure to vibration via measurements in residential environments. I have an interest in Low Frequency Structure-Borne Sound. Due to this project I have an opportunity to research and investigate human response to low frequency vibration and its relationship to annoyance.
Supervisor: Dr David Waddington
Hyun Lim
My research work is verifying the mathematical theory of active shielding based on the Difference Potential Method that is a novel powerful technology for solving various mathematical problems.
Supervisor: Prof Yiu Lam
Abd Muhammad
My research is 'Modern signal processing techniques to solve audio related problems'.
Supervisor: Dr Francis Li
Charlie Mydlarz
Charlie's field of research is the application of novel techniques for the investigation of human relationships with soundscapes.
Supervisor: Dr Ian Drumm
Robert Oldfield
I have started a PhD in l. The project aims at installing a WFS system in the Listening Room which is part of the acoustic facilities at the University.
Supervisor: Dr Ian Drumm
Eulalia Peris
My research intends to investigate alternative relationships between annoyance or vibration level and other parameters specific to different residential environments
Supervisor: Dr D Waddington
Julian Romero Perez
Julian's research area is 'objective acoustic measurement for the sound quality in critical listening rooms'
Supervisor: Dr Bruno Fazenda
Mohammad Sarfraz
I am doing my Phd in application of Hybrid Intelligent System and Statistical Techniques for BioSignal Analysis, Area of Interest: Artificial Intelligence Systems application to Biomedical domain.
Supervisor: Dr Francis Li
Massimo Serafini
Massimo's research area is 'Synthesised music for room acoustic measurement'.
Supervisor: Dr Francis Li
Jonathan Sheaffer
Jonathan's research area is 'production of sound fields in small rooms towards standardisation of listening conditions'
Supervisor: Dr Bruno Fazenda
Ben Shirley
Ben's research area is 'Audio-related assistive technology'.
Supervisor: Dr W Davies
Gennaro Sica
Gennaro's research area is 'Human response to vibrations in residential environments'.
Supervisor: Prof Andy Moorhouse
Michael Sturm
I am a fulltime PhD student researching vibro-acoustic emission of non-stationary steering noises and how these noises are perceived by passengers inside the cabin.
Supervisor: Prof Andy Moorhouse
Diego Turo
The aim of my Ph.D. is to develop and validate a time domain model predicting acoustical properties of porous materials. This includes both linear model suitable for relatively low amplitude sound and the nonlinear model for high amplitude sound.
Supervisor: Dr Olga Umnova
Rodolfo Venegas Castillo
The project aims to develop a methodology for virtual material design and study micro-macro relations in porous media acoustics. Special emphasis is paid to the acoustical properties of both microporous and multi-scale porous materials.
Supervisor: Dr Olga Umnova
Matthew Wankling
My research is titled 'assessing the quality of low frequency audio reproduction in critical listening spaces'. In such spaces, for example, recording studio control rooms, resonances, or room modes, cause audible problems to the sound.
Supervisor: Dr Bruno Fazenda
James Woodcock
My research is concerned with identifying the main perceptual dimensions which underlie the subjective impression of sounds from domestic appliances; this will be achieved through jury testing and multidimensional scaling analysis.
