🎤 Meet our speaker

Tapio Lokki is a Professor and a Head of the department with the Department of Information and Communications Engineering at Aalto University School of Electrical Engineering.

His passion is to understand how rooms modify sound that we hear. To pursue the encompassing understanding of room acoustics, his team is investigating auralization, spatial sound reproduction, binaural technology, and novel objective and subjective evaluation methods.

Particularly, the interest has been in concert halls, in which the team has developed new measurement techniques, analysis methods for spatial impulse responses, and sensory evaluation methods to understand the perceptual differences between concert halls. He will share his expertise on Acoustics of Concert Halls in .
