Our PhD projects sit at the forefront of research in sustainable sound futures, bringing together expertise from acoustics, audio engineering, data science, design, and the social sciences. Across the Sustainable Sound Futures CDT, doctoral researchers are tackling a diverse range of challenges — from understanding and improving sound environments, to developing innovative audio technologies, to exploring the role of sound in health, society, and sustainability.
Current projects span research areas including sound and the environment, health and wellbeing, immersive and intelligent audio systems, and the societal impact of sound. Each project reflects our interdisciplinary approach, combining technical innovation with real-world application to address complex global challenges. All projects are funded by EPSRC and our industry partners.
