Undertake research related to acoustics and the built environment.
Description
As cities become denser, so too the noise impacts of living and working nearby magnify. The operations of a 24/7 city encroach on the amenity of our urban environments daily. While regulation can go some way to manage the urban noise impacts of heavy traffic, noise from building plant and equipment or noisy neighbours in our urban environment, good design is also critical to the management of unwanted noise externally as well as within our building interiors, in co-working spaces, restaurants and between neighbouring apartments for example. This scholarship is open to candidates to undertake research that will lead to a better understanding of the important aspects related to ensuring good acoustics and controlling noise pollution in the Built Environment. Candidates with significant industry experience are encouraged to apply.
