On October 19th, a collaborative acoustics workshop was conducted in Rochester, New York, by Professor Sungyoung Kim and student Rai Sato, alongside faculty and students from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).
Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), located in upstate New York, is one of America’s leading technological universities and one of the affiliated university of Professor Sungyoung Kim. The workshop was convened with the dual objectives of sharing research projects and facilitating interaction between students enrolled in acoustics-related courses at RIT and their counterparts from RIT and KAIST.
The presentations delivered during the workshop were as follows:
Dr. Sungyoung Kim (KAIST Associate Professor / RIT Associate Professor)
- Data-driven clustering of listeners for customized immersive audio rendering
Akira Takeuchi (RIT PhD Student)
- EEG Measurement for Human Spatial Auditory Attention
Rai Sato (KAIST MS/PhD Student)
- Implementation of real-time spatial audio rendering platform with game audio engine: Augmented reality Room Acoustic Estimator (ARAE)
Dr. Hwan Shim (RIT Assistant Professor)
- Neural Mechanisms Related to the Enhanced Auditory Selective Attention
The workshop was attended by more than ten students with a keen interest in acoustics who are currently enrolled in related courses at RIT. The event was highlighted by lively question-and-answer sessions and discussions among the participants.
After the workshop, the presenters and RIT students joined this workshop went to MacGregor’s and had a great time to discuss the future of immersive audio.
We expected that the future will see continued exchanges and uninhibited research activities and collaborations between the universities of South Korea and the United States.
