Every January, some of the best Institute of Acoustics (IOA) Diploma student final projects undertaken at the School of BEA, are presented by authors at the IOA London Branch meeting.

To add to that, a new IOA Diploma Student Final Project award competition was set up last year by course director Dr Luis Gomez-Agustina in collaboration with the IOA and the sponsor of the award, acoustics instrumentation manufacturer NTI-Audio.

At this year’s London Branch meeting held on 16 January 2020, two nominated finalists, of the first year of the competition, presented their work undertaken at LSBU in the last academic year (2018-19).

Paul Roberts presented his work on Sound Propagation From Lightwells and Jakub Hajko presented on Monitoring Aircraft Reduced Engine Taxi Using Sound Level Meters.

Charles Greene, General manager of NTI-Audio UK, presented the award and prize to the winner, Jakub Hajko.
