Diffusion & Scattering
Measurement, theory, diffuser design, data interpretation, and the development of diffuse fields.
Research & Innovation
Understand. Visualize. Measure. Improve.
Research is useful when it improves understanding, measurement, design, or the way an idea can be explained.

Focus
Four connected areas
Acoustic Visualization
Computational models and visualizations that make complex sound behavior easier to see, teach, and reason about.
Measurement & Standards
Measurement methods, uncertainty, standards participation, and better ways to represent acoustic data.
Invention
Three U.S. acoustic-design patents spanning diffuser and acoustic-panel geometries and sound-diffusion systems.

Perspective
Science provides the tools. Experience provides context.
Research is most valuable when it produces clearer decisions, better models, better measurements, better products — or a better way to teach the idea.
