Acoustics

Jonathan Hargreaves

Jonathan was awarded an MEng in Engineering & Computing Science from the University of Oxford in 2000 and a PhD in Acoustic Engineering from the University of Salford in 2007, where he remains as a post-doctoral Research Fellow. The title of his PhD thesis was “Time Domain Boundary Element Methods for Room Acoustics” and this remains one of his active research areas. At present he is Researcher Co-Investigator on an EPSRC funded project in partnership with the University of Reading, Arup Acoustics and BBC Audio R&D. This aims to develop improved acoustic modelling software, which properly includes wave phenomena, and couple it to audio hardware, enabling the sound of buildings to be experienced before they are constructed or long after they are lost. Jonathan has had the pleasure of being involved in a wide variety of public engagement activities, including a number of TV appearances, and is passionate about performing, engineering and enjoying live music.
