Using optical coherence tomography and vibrometry to understand hearing in crustaceans
Crustaceans use sound for many different life history strategies. Over the last decade many different crustaceans, such as paddle crabs and lobsters, have been described to produce sounds. Read more
Help hearing impaired listeners to understand speech better by audio-visual integration in wearable devices
Supervisory Team. Stefan Bleeck, David Simpson. Project description. Wearable assistive hearing devices have improved our daily lives over the past two decades. Read more
HAAR: Hospital Audio Augmented Reality
This project will explore the use of Audio Augmented Reality in hospitals. Out of necessity most devices in a hospital make a sound, whether intentionally or not. Read more
Influence of listener movement on tonality and spatial quality in adaptive immersive surround sound systems
Whilst there is a significant body of work that focuses on the spatial quality and tonality of immersive surround sound systems for a sweet spot position, these qualities under a dynamic listening scenario (i.e. Read more
Computational Acoustics: Predicting, Simulating and/or Auralising how the world sounds
Research Group:
Acoustics Research Centre
This PhD is about development of novel computational algorithms for simulating acoustic wave physics (sound). Read more
Development of a performance test method to evaluate effectiveness and service life of galvanic anodes used as part of repair systems and cathodic protection in reinforced concrete structures
One of the most challenging durability issues and causes of defects in reinforced concrete infrastructures is the corrosion of steel reinforcement, which leads to rust formation, cracking, spalling, delamination and degradation of structures (Popov, 2015 and Michael et al, 2016). Read more
Audio for Virtual and Augmented Reality
Recent developments in low cost VR displays have led to a resurgence of research into binaural 3-D audio. Whilst a good 3-D audio experience can be given using the state of the art technologies, there are still many problems to be solved. Read more
Acoustical Properties of Meta-Materials
Research Group:
Centre For Sustainable Environments
Porous materials such as foams and felts are often used to reduce noise levels. However, these materials are often ineffective at low frequencies. Read more
Soundscape Research: Analysis, Auralisation, and Assessment
The simulation of sounds in our natural environment is important for us be able to more reliably model and analyse the acoustic results of small or large-scale, human interventions, such as a newly proposed road, airport or rail project. Read more
Improvements in headphone based 3-D audio using adaptive binaural signal processing and robust head-tracking
Design of immersive binaural surround systems requires an understanding of the perceptual cues for sound source localisation. Any source at a given angle of incidence to the head will create subtle time and level difference cues at the ears and is subject to spectral shaping due to the pinnae. Read more
Research opportunities in Music
Music at York is internationally recognised for creative, practical and scholarly approaches to music, and allows you the time and space to develop your own distinctive approach to the discipline. Read more
Noisemaking, Performing and Listening, as functions of opinion formation in UK civil society.
Details of MRes. Full Time- 1 Year. The aim of ‘Noisemaking, Performing and Listening’ is to investigate the results of affective communication on the practices of UK government debates and opinion formation among civil society. Read more
Causal Machine Learning in Aerospace PhD
This PhD project will investigate the recent field of study of Causal Machine Learning, which aims to modify and augment Machine Learning by using Causal Analysis techniques as a way to solve its limitations. Read more
Next generation of ultrasound strain imaging and elastography based on the coherent use of multiple transducers
Applications are invited for a fully funded 3,5 year full-time PhD studentship (including home tuition fees, annual stipend and consumables) starting on 1st February 2024. Read more
Film: an Ecology of Light
This PhD project weaves together film, ecology, and light, by addressing light as the filmic substance in the context of ecological discourse. Read more
