Dr Jordan Cheer BMus (Tonmeister), MSc, PhD, CEng, MIMechE, FHEA
Associate Professor, Head of the Signal Processing, Audio and Hearing Research Group
Dr Jordan Cheer is Associate Professor within the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, which is part of the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton.
My research focuses on the use of active control technologies to enhance the performance of systems in terms of their sound and vibration characteristics. This research has allowed me to work across a variety of engineering application areas, from the automotive industry to the telecommunications sector, as well as on fundamental scientific problems.
Current position
Jordan Cheer is Associate Professor at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research and Head of the Signal Processing, Audio and Hearing Research Group. His research covers both active control of noise and vibration and sound field control for audio reproduction. He is also currently a Subject Editor for the Journal of Sound and Vibration focusing on Signal Processing and Data Science and Associate Editor for the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America focusing on Noise.
Career history
Jordan graduated from the University of Surrey in 2008 with a BMus (Tonmeister) in Music and Sound Recording. In 2009 he received the MSc in Sound and Vibration from the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) at the University of Southampton, with a thesis on the design of directional loudspeakers for mobile devices. Following this he carried out his doctoral research in the Signal Processing and Control group of the ISVR on the subject of active control of the acoustic environment in automobile cabins. This was funded by the Green City Car Project which was part of the European Commission 7th Framework Programme. Having received the PhD in 2012, he was then appointed as a Research Fellow in Active Control at the ISVR. He was promoted to Senior Research Fellow at the beginning of 2015 and later in 2015 was appointed as a New Frontiers Fellow. He was promoted to Lecturer in 2017 and Associate Professor in 2019.
