On august 26-27, ENSTA ParisTech will be held a doctoral course in musical acoustics.
This advanced doctoral course is organized by ENSTA ParisTech within the framework of the European Marie Curie Initial Training Network BATWOMAN (Basic Acoustics Training and Workprogram On Methodologies for Acoustics Network). It will be part of a Technical Workshop arranged for the participants of the network. In order to increase the outreach impact of the course, the course will be open to doctoral students from outside the network interested in musical acoustics.
The course consists of 4 lectures of 90 minutes, devoted to the acoustics and numerical simulation of the piano and on nonlinear dynamics of plates. All lectures will be given by internationally recognized experts in the field.
The BATWOMAN network
The BATWOMAN ITN (Initial Training Network) aims at structuring research training in basic and advanced acoustics and setting up a work program on methodologies for acoustics for skills development in a highly diverse research field offering multiple career options.
The consortium consists of renowned public and private partners from musical acoustics, room acoustics and automotive acoustics who will merge their existing knowledge, and complement it with insights of recent sound perception research. This will exploit existing synergies and overcome obvious fragmentation in research, methodology and basic as well as advanced acoustics training.
The ITN will provide interdisciplinary research training for excellence. It will structure existing PhD-level training in acoustics setting up European curricula with compatible and recognized courses offered by Universities and private enterprises.
