Listen "POMA Student Paper Competition: New Orleans"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, find out what the next generation of acousticians is researching! In this episode, we talk to the latest round of POMA Student Paper Competition winners, from the joint 188th meeting of the ASA and the 25th International Congress on Acoustics held in New Orleans in May 2025. Their topics include:- Using the spatial decomposition method to parameterize acoustic reflections in a room (Lucas Hocquette, L-Acoustics)- Visualizing nonlinearities in a bolted plate system with digital image correlation (Nicholas Pomianek, Boston University)- Analyzing the how people pronounce the word "just" in casual speech (Ki Woong Moon, University of Arizona)- Modeling strings of historical instruments that no longer make sound (Riccardo Russo, University of Bologna)- Improving automatic music mashup generators (Yu Foon Darin Chau, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology)Associated papers:Lucas Hocquette, Philip Coleman, and Frederic Roskam.
