Applied Acoustics

The research activity is mainly in the framework of architectural and building acoustics. The common thread is the acoustic comfort indoor in everyday life, at home, at the workplace and in the environments for leisure and recreation. Laboratory and in-field measurements, simulations, administration of questionnaires and  listening tests characterize the work methodology in this field of research.

Soundscape, noise control and sound design are related research themes.
