This page contains links to presentations I have made at the International Conference on Auditory Display in the years 2001 \u2013 2008. Below I describe a bit of background of the projects that led to these formal presentations:<\/p>\n
I chose computational fluid dynamics (CFD) as my first sonification project. My main motivation for choosing this area is that I know it well. I had completed a PhD at the Imperial College of Science and Technology in London<\/a> in 1984 which consisted largely of analyzing the complex fluid flow inside an oil-cooled electric power transformer. I did this with help of A.D. Gosman, a Professor of Mechanical Engineering<\/a>. David went on to develop the commercial CFD code STAR-CD<\/a>. I ended up working for one of the competitors (FLUENT<\/a>) after graduation from Imperial. I left FLUENT in early 1999 to return to my musical roots and explore its connections with engineering. The Master of Arts program in Electro-Acoustic Music at Dartmouth College was an excellent environment to pursue this goal. Eric Lyon<\/a> suggested that I look into sonification, Larry Polansky guided my thesis work and Jon Appleton was incredibly generous with encouragement and logistical support every step of the way.<\/p>\n The Sonification of Numerical Fluid Flow Simulations, 2001<\/a><\/p>\n Achorripsis: A Sonification of Probability Distributions, 2002<\/a><\/p>\n Using Multi-Channel Spatialization in Sonification: A Case Study with Meteorological Data, 2003<\/a><\/p>\n MarketBuzz: A Sonification of Real Time Financial Market Data, 2004<\/a><\/p>\n Auditory Graphs of Real-Time Data, 2005<\/a><\/p>\n Monitoring Real-Time Data: A Sonification Approach, 2006<\/a><\/p>\n
