Dr. Falk-Martin Hoffmann Ph.D. (Acoustics), Dipl.-Ing. (Electrical Engineering and Information Technology)

Visiting Researcher

Dr Hoffmann is a Research Fellow within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton.

He graduated with a Dipl.-Ing. degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany, in November 2011. He then joined the EU-funded AUDIS project as a Marie Curie Research Fellow at the Hearing and Balance Centre, University of Southampton, UK, in January 2012. From October 2012 until June 2013, he was a Research Associate at the Institute of Communication Acoustics at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany. In June 2017, he received his Ph.D. in Acoustics from the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research at the University of Southampton, under the supervision of Dr. Filippo Maria Fazi and Prof. Philip A. Nelson. During his doctoral training, he was involved in a collaboration between HUAWEI and the Virtual Acoustics and Audio Engineering group, as well as with Dr. Earl G. Williams from the Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.C., USA. His major research focus lies on the development of acoustic models and signal processing strategies for acoustic transducer arrays, nearfield acoustical holography and electroacoustics.
