Professor Ville Pulkki awarded for amusing and imaginative research
In the awarded research, Ville Pulkki and his fellow researchers explored why shouting into the wind feels challenging for people, even though sound actually carries better upwind
Leonardo Fierro: Sharing experiences for a better doctoral student life
'Now I’m less fearful of failing. I know how to put things into perspective. It was a good lesson to learn that failing is part of the process of succeeding.'
Gabriele Del Brenna uses the skills learned at Aalto in his work as an Acoustic Designer
'Finland is a unique place, and great for student life,' says Gabriele Del Brenna. In this interview, he talks about his experiences in acoustics and audio technology studies and gives his tips for international experts to find employment after graduation.
Best Paper Award for Acoustics Lab Doctoral Student Gloria Dal Santo
The research optimises an artificial reverberation method to improve its sound quality. The award was received at the International Conference on Digital Audio Effects in Copenhagen.
Acoustics researchers decompose sound accurately into its three basic components
Any sound can now be perfectly replicated by a combination of whistles, clicks, and hisses, with implications for sound processing across the media landscape
Best Student Paper Award for Acoustics Lab doctoral student Eloi Moliner
The award-winning paper discusses how to solve inverse problems in audio processing
A sugar extracted from biowaste can provide a sustainable and more efficient method for sound absorption and thermal insulation
Researchers at Aalto University have discovered a way to convert polysaccharides from biowaste into a material that can outperform glass wool and other commercially used sound absorption materials with similar thickness.
Tapio Lokki: You can always find another way
'If I look at my own career, the skills I learned in the Student Union’s Representative Council and as a chairman and artistic misleader at Retuperän WBK are the skills I need as a department head: how to get along with people, how to lead a group, and how to motivate people. A role model is important.'
