Unser Profil
The research areas of the Institute for Hearing Technology and Acoustics deal with topics in acoustics related to human auditory perception. The goal of our institute is to expand interdisciplinary research in the field of perception and processing of sound in complex acoustic environments for different listeners. We also study with the physical and technical aspects of sound generation and propagation of sound. In this context, measurement techniques and simulation technologies are developed to explore the physics of complex acoustic scenarios, but also for computer-aided generation of acoustic scenarios using acoustic virtual reality.
The applications are very diverse and extend far beyond electrical engineering and information technology issues to tasks in building construction, urban planning, mechanical engineering, IT and communication sciences, and medicine which open immense opportunities for (interdisciplinary) research.
Our main fields of research are:
- (bio)-medical engineering, in particular health care engineering (life-sciences)
- psycho-acoustics and auditory cognition in complex acoustic environments
- audio engineering, spatial recording and reproduction, and media technology
- mechanical engineering, in particular automotive and NVH engineering,
- civil engineering with focus on noise control, room and building acoustics, urban mobility
Ihr Profil
- Currently enrolled in the fields of electrical engineering, computer science, or a related field
