Chileans visit the Acoustics Lab

On the 1st August 2017 the largest ever delegation of Chilean acoustic engineers visited London South Bank University. The delegation had recently attended ICSV 24 and wanted to learn more about the work of the Acoustics Group. A most pleasant afternoon was spend discussing possible collaborative opportunities.

Visitors to the Acoustics Lab

After the ICSV conference had finished the Acoustics Group invited an Indonesian delegation to visit the laboratory. On the 29th July 2017 Indraswari Kusumaningtyas and Gea Parikesit from Universitas Gadjah Mada were show around our facilities by Stephen Dance. Ari was particularly interested in our educational courses and the research in musical acoustics. One day we come and visit their laboratory!

Movie Shot in the Acoustics Laboratory

Whilst ICSV 24 was going on the Acoustics Laboratory was free, hence a film crew came in to shoot a movie, due for release in 2018. The psychology thriller was particularly interested in the anechoic chamber and the sound booths!

Acoustic Group assists with ISCV 24

At ICSV 24 the Institute of Acoustics required some additional help, so the call went out to acoustic students! The call was answered by ISVR and the Acoustics Group. So a special thanks goes to Eugenie, Doug, Dhruvit and Ian for all their running around!

International Congress on Sound and Vibration 24

Between 23-27 July 2017 London hosted the International Congress on Sound and Vibration. This was the 24th such meeting organised jointly by the Institute of Acoustics and the International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration, of whom Dr Stephen Dance is a founding member. At the meeting there were 1040 delegates presenting 940 papers from 60 countries.  The presentations were given in 16 parallel sessions over 4 days. The event was a great success with many discussions which went on late in the evening!
