PETER BARNETT MEMORIAL AWARD

Professor Søren Bech

This year’s Peter Barnett Memorial Award recipient is Professor Søren Bech for continued leadership in both research and education in audio engineering and acoustics, both through his work at Bang and Olufsen and at Aalborg University. Professor Bech’s books and papers have provided the foundations for perceptual evaluations of audio systems. His work in this area has been prolific and is stood the test of time. His talk, entitled “Interactive Sound Zones for Better living – Results from the ISOBEL Project” will detail the outcome of a recent project Søren led which aimed to respond to the need for sound exposure control in dynamic real-world contexts, adapted to and tested in healthcare and homes.
