Final UKAN+ Meeting Completed

 

The final UKAN+ management meeting was held on 1st July 2025. UKAN now has reached 2000 members, ran 440 events and funded 28 projects over an 8 year period. The team have been amazing. The final deliverable will be a co-funded Sound Economics report due October 2025, supported by the EPSRC Noise Network+ and the Institute of Acoustics. I like to thank Kirill Horoshenkov, Richard Craster and all the support teams and look forward to Virtual UKAN!. 

AI Sensors installed on Campus

 

PhD candidate Ekim Bakirci has installed his prototype AI enabled wireless Class 1 environmental sound monitoring system across the London South Bank University campus. This will enable automated sound event classification of the City Soundscape as well as noise monitoring the environment. Ekim is in his second year of studies and needs to train the system to monitor air, road and rail traffic. Let's hope he stays busy and the sun keeps shining!
