PhD Studentship in Electronic Engineering  – Audio Signal Processing

Centre for Digital Signal Processing

Division of Engineering

King’s College London

The Centre for Digital Signal Processing in the Division of  
Engineering, King’s College London, invites applications for PhD  
students to pursue research in the field of perceptual sound field  
reconstruction/emulation. The goal of this project is to develop a new  
technology for multi-channel  consumer audio which would significantly  
improve over existing techniques in terms of realism, the accuracy and  
stability of the auditory perspective, the size of the sweet listening  
spot and the persuasiveness of the  envelopment experience. Further  
details about the project can be found at  www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/pse/diveng/research/cdspr/zor/ 
.

This project is funded by EPSRC and includes provision for  
collaboration between the Centre for Digital Signal Processing at  
King’s College London and the Institute of Sound Recording, University  
of Surrey. There is one full PhD studentship available which provides  
for UK/EU fees and additional funding of around £1,200 per month for  
living expenses for 36 months.

The ideal candidate will possess an MSc in electrical engineering or  
another relevant area. Knowledge of advanced signal processing  
techniques and experience with sound field analysis and/or multi- 
channel audio technologies are essential for effective pursuance of  
the project.

The studentship is available immediately.

Candidates should submit a formal application for PhD studies in  
Electronic Engineering at King’s College London, indicating that they  
are applying for the EPSRC studentship in Perceptual Sound Field  
Reconstruction and indicating Dr Cvetkovic as their PhD advisor. An  
online application form can be found at http://www.kcl.ac.uk/graduate/apply/research.html 
 .

Informal enquiries about the project and studentship can be made to Dr  
Zoran Cvetkovic via e-mail: zoran.cvetkovic@xxxxxxxxxx
