PhD position: Adaptive Sound Field Synthesis

This PhD project aims at developping and testing an adaptive Sound Field Synthesis (SFS) system for human listeners, to be used for hearing aid research.

A first task will consists of a bibliographical survey of SFS techniques using a loudspeaker array for hearing aid research. Based on these knowledge, the candidate will developp an adaptive SFS algorithm based on state-of-the art transaural approaches using a loudspeaker array and a dummy head. This algorithm will be implemented and tested in real-time in the lab. In a second time, adaptive SFS techniques using modal approachs (i.e. Ambisonics) will be investigated. After validation, this system will be used for speech intelligibility tests in virtual reverberant room.
