AES Announces 132nd Convention Student Paper Award

BUDAPEST: marschall_c.jpg AES Student Technical Paper Award Coordinator Rob Maher has announced that Marton Marschall has been named the recipient of this year's Award for his paper "Robustness Of A Mixed-Order Ambisonics Microphone Array For Sound Field Reproduction," co-authored with Sylvain Favrot and JÜrg Buchholz. The Award will be presented on Thursday, April 26 at the Opening Ceremonies at the Novotel Budapest Congress & World Trade Center. Mr. Marschall will present his paper at 10AM on Saturday, April 28.

A native of Budapest, Marton Marschall, received a diploma in electrical engineering from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics in 2006, and his MSc degree in engineering acoustics from the Technical University of Denmark in 2008. He then joined the Centre for Applied Hearing Research at the Technical University of Denmark, where he is currently a PhD student under the guidance of Professor Torsten Dau. As part of his PhD project, he is working on recreating realistic acoustic scenes for hearing research and for the evaluation of communication devices, such as hearing instruments and mobile phones. His research interests include virtual acoustics, spatial hearing and models of auditory signal processing and perception. The Award also makes Mr. Marschall's manuscript eligible for publication consideration in the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society.
