On the 16th January 2025 an article was published in the Institution of Civil Engineering's Proceeding on Engineering History and Heritage. The article authored by Dr Haydar Aygun et al was entitled, "Pixel matching technique for restoration of Mediterranean historic buildings". It was a team effort!
An on-line journal paper was published in Heritage entitled, "New Acoustics Design for the Piscina Mirabilis" . The paper was authored by MSc student Antonella Bevilacqua and Dr Luis Gomez-Agustina with support from University of Parma and University of Campania. Well done Antonella!
An on-line journal article has been published in Acoustics entitled, "Racing in Kart Dromes: Laboratory and Site Assessment of Noise Levels". The article is by Masters student Antonella Bevilacqua and Dr Luis Gomez-Agustina with support from University of Parma and the University of Campania. Well done Antonella.
We thank you all for your support over a year. We started the year with a KTP associate, Kola Alabi, and PhD student Ekim Bakirci joining us to bringing the group to a full complement. Rebecca Page won the Nti-Audio award for best Diploma project. Five journal papers were published in JASA, Building, Heritage, Acoustics and the Journal of Acoustics on Sound of Performance, Alternative Speech Sources, Anicent Rome, Rigid Plates and Karting noise. Ten papers/presentations were given by staff and students at various in-person conferences including: IOA 50th Anniversary in Manchester, Inter-Noise in Nantes, and outside of acoustics with the Hearing Conservation Association in Birmingham and the British Academy of Audiology in Telford. The Art of Being an Acoustician was run at the National Oceanographic Centre, Southampton with Diploma, Masters, and PhD students in attendance. Links with the IOA were strengthened with Diploma students presenting at the January London branch meeting, in July the Masters’ students presented, and in May the IOA held their highly successful AI in Acoustics meeting at LSBU. Enterprise activities grew with the IOA Short course run twice with 19 candidates, Royal Academy of Music collaboration continuing, cooperation with Foster + Partners, work with the Royal Opera House and with the Bickerdike Allen/National Galley on highly unusual experiments. In 2025 we look forward to the results of two significant research grant bids. We hope you all have a great Christmas.
A final lecture of the year was held on 19th December 2024 with students on the Masters and Diploma in attendance. We hope all the students enjoyed their first term with us and look forward to teaching you in 2025 and beyond!
