Quantifying Tranquility in Urban Environments - 2017
Identified tranquil locations in cities by investigating the perceptual features of tranquility across visual and auditory modalities in downtown Hartford, CT and Central Park, NY.
Instrument Directivity Approximation For Use In Concert Hall Measurements - 2016
Used an icosahedron omnidirectional loudspeaker to reproduce instrument directivities to help give a more realistic reproduction of an orchestra when testing concert halls.
Study Of Computational Auditory Models - 2016
Study of signal processing and audio feature extraction to be used to train probabilistic auditory models for real-time audio analysis.
Community-driven Acoustics Phone App - 2016
Developed a web API to handle data acquisition, processing, and distribution for geo- encoded sound level data collected by app users.
Acoustical Consulting Project - 2015
Took acoustic measurements of an office space with reported speech intelligibility issues and provided solutions as a comprehensive engineering report.
