Filippo Fazi

Primary position:
Lecturer

Filippo M. Fazi graduated in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Brescia (Italy) in 2005, with a master thesis on room acoustics. In the same year he joined the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research of the University of Southampton, initially as a master student and then as a doctoral student. He obtained his PhD in Acoustics in 2010, with a thesis on Sound Field Reproduction. He is currently a research fellow at the ISVR, after he has been awarded a fellowship by the Royal Academy of Engineering and by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
Dr Fazi has been working for the last 6 years on Acoustics, Audio technologies, Electroacoustics and Digital Signal Processing, with special focus on acoustical inverse problems, multi-channel systems (including Ambisonics and Wave Field Synthesis), virtual acoustics, microphone arrays and room acoustics.
During his postdoctoral studies he has been involved in several national and international projects, in collaboration with industrial and academic partners, including nine months of research activity at the University of California San Diego.
He has been awarded the ANC prize for best paper by a young person by the Institute of Acoustics in 2008 and the Sacerdote prize for best doctoral thesis by the Associazione Italiana di Acustica in 2010. He is a member of the Audio Engineering Society and of the Acoustical Society of America.
