InHEAR Project 

“Hearables” – in-ear headphones with built-in microphones and signal
processing capability – offer new opportunities to reproduce audio
content in a way that adapts and responds to the listening context, e.g.
background noise and personal preferences. The InHEAR project
(Intelligent Hearables with Environment-Aware Rendering) will develop
new algorithms to maximise the listener’s experience regardless of their
listening context. The project is a collaboration between the University
of Surrey, Bang & Olufsen and Aalborg University. You have a genuine
opportunity to influence future generations of B&O products as well as
to produce world-leading publishable and patentable research. 


About us 

The IoSR is a leading centre for research in psychoacoustic engineering.
Our work combines elements of acoustics, digital signal processing,
psychoacoustics (theoretical and experimental), psychology, sound
synthesis, software engineering, statistical analysis and user-interface
design, with an understanding of the aesthetics of sound and music. Our
world-class facilities include industry-specification sound-recording
studios and edit suites, and an ITU-R BS.1116 standard critical
listening room equipped with a 22.2-channel reproduction system, and the
Surrey Sound Sphere supporting multichannel sound field capture and
reproduction. You will work closely with another student based in the
Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP), and with
colleagues in research and development at B&O. 

 

How to apply 

Applications should be made through the PhD course

Applications for April 2020 will be processed straight away in view of
an earlier start if possible. If in doubt, please contact us. Please use
your research statement to explain how your skills meet the person
specification outlined above.


    Funding Notes

The studentship is for 42 months full-time study commencing between
January—April 2020. 
In addition to covering UK/EU tuition fees and a tax-free stipend of
£15k/year, you will have access to a generous travel budget (to support
attendance at academic conferences, for example) and support to
undertake research at Bang & Olufsen’s headquarters in Denmark.
