Three new doctoral students have recently started in our Virtual Acoustics group. They all work in the area of room acoustics modeling and optimization. Jukka has been with us already for some time, first as an intern and then as a MSc worker. He just finalized his thesis on FDTD modeling and started his doctoral studies on the same lines. Kai has background in acoustic consulting and construction. He is now a part-time student with us. His main interests are in optimization and geometric acoustics. Sebastian has obtained his MSc in acoustics from Aalborg, Denmark. He arrived in Finland just two weeks ago and is not taking his first steps on the path towards a doctorate. Welcome all!
