BLANCO Laura, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
Assistant Professor Laura Blanco's field of specialization is instructional design in foreign language education. Assistant Professor Blanco belongs to the Media Design Division of the Faculty of Design, Kyushu University. She is listed as a faculty member of the Media Design Course in the Department of Design, School of Design for undergraduates, and of the Media Design Course in the Department of Design, Graduate School of Design for graduate students.
Akira Omoto, Professor
0 student voices
From the standpoint of architectural acoustics, the lab studies how to measure, evaluate, control, and reproduce sound in enclosed spaces such as rooms. In the past, the lab worked on applying active noise control to noise barriers, as well as on the adaptive algorithms needed for such control. In sound field reproduction, the lab is examining ways to rationally combine technically accurate methods with the staging techniques used in artistic settings. Recently, aiming to apply sound field reproduction systems directly to human welfare, the lab has added acoustic welfare engineering (acoustic engineering for human welfare) as a keyword for its activities.
Tokihiko Kaburagi, Professor
0 student voices
The Speech Information Processing Lab of Prof. Kaburagi aims to clarify more fundamentally how people communicate with their voices. The lab studies how speakers produce speech, how listeners perceive it, and how the two are related. It works on observing the movements of the articulators and on elucidating how the vocal folds generate the sound source of the voice. In education, the professor teaches courses in phonetics, speech signal processing, and speech information processing at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Toshiya Samejima, Professor
0 student voices
The Acoustic Engineering Lab analyzes and controls acoustic and vibration systems through theory and numerical computation. Targeting musical instruments, stage equipment, loudspeakers, and headphones, the lab works on coupled analysis, which links vibration and sound fields in a single calculation. It also researches making physical-model sound sources for electronic musical instruments more faithful and accurate, as well as passive and active control. Prof. Samejima belongs to the Acoustic Design Division of the Faculty of Design.
Masayuki Takada, Professor
0 student voices
The lab of Prof. Takada studies how sounds affect people, focusing on sounds generally regarded as noise, such as mechanical sounds, and on the sound environments around us. It evaluates and analyzes these effects from psychological and physiological aspects, and explores how sound should be designed. Past subjects include sounds around childcare facilities, car horns, product sounds, and sounds on a university campus. It is the lab of a faculty member belonging to the Acoustic Design Course of the School of Design and the Graduate School of Design.
Hiroko Nishida, Professor
0 student voices
The Nishida Lab studies music theory and analysis, as well as their cultural backgrounds. In particular, the lab works on how Western music theory was received in modern Japan, and on the history of music theory, centered on Germany and Austria. In addition, the lab examines the relationship between music content and management in various forms of contemporary music culture. The lab belongs to the Acoustic Design Division of the Faculty of Design.
Gerard Bastiaan Remijn, Professor
0 student voices
The Perceptual Psychology Lab (Gerard Bastiaan Remijn) specializes in perceptual psychology. Its faculty member belongs to the Acoustic Design Course of the School of Design, and to the Acoustic Design Course of the Department of Design in the Graduate School of Design. In the Faculty of Design, the professor is listed as a faculty member of the Acoustic Design Division.
Kazuhiko Kawahara, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Associate Professor Kazuhiko Kawahara studies how to evaluate the performance of acoustic systems, including loudspeakers. In recent years, loudspeakers based on different principles from conventional ones have been proposed, and the lab is investigating measurement methods to evaluate their performance appropriately. The lab also works on transmitting applause to enhance the sense of presence in live viewing, and on developing curricula for ear training, which cultivates the ability to discriminate between sounds. The associate professor is a faculty member in the Acoustic Design Course of the School of Design and of the Graduate School of Design.
Kazuhiro Jo, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Media Art Lab conducts practice-based research centered on making artworks, with a background in acoustics and interaction design. The lab engages critically with media technology and, as one example of humanizing technology, explores forms of expression that go beyond demonstrating new technologies. Its projects include a musical instrument grown from mycelium, as well as collaborative work such as visual expression using bioluminescent bacteria and a system that connects people with a nukadoko.
Katsuya Yamauchi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The psychoacoustics lab of Associate Professor Katsuya Yamauchi studies environmental noise and sound design, approaching them through people's psychological responses to sounds they hear and their perceptual evaluation of those sounds. Recently, the lab has been especially interested in how future cars should sound, and focuses on research into the sounds of next-generation vehicles such as electric and hybrid vehicles. Prediction of road traffic noise and the design of signal sounds are also research subjects.
