The First International Forum on

Environmental Acoustics 

Acoustical Society of Beijing

European Acoustic Association Technical Committee on Noise

2022.12.8

1 Forum Theme

The Noise Pollution Prevention and Control Law has been officially implemented in China June 5th. In order to communicate with global acoustical researcher, Acoustical Society of Beijing will organize the first International Forum on Environmental Acoustics in Beijing this December, jointly with European Acoustic Association Technical Committee on Noise.

The forum aims to provide a common platform for Professionals, engineers, practitioners and researchers working in the field of environmental acoustical policy,noise control technology, noise monitor and reliability. We welcome participations and contributions from those involved in both theoretical research and practical applications of all aspects of environmental acoustics. Because of the Coronavirus Epidemic prevention policy in China, the forum will be held online.

4 Introduction of Presenter

Professor Jian Kang

UCL Institute for Environmental Design and Engineering, The Bartlett University College London (UCL)

Professor Jian Kang obtained his first and master degree from Tsinghua University and his PhD from the University of Cambridge. He is Fellow of Royal Academy of Engineering and Member of Academia Europaea - The Academy of Europe. He has been a full professor since 2003, and worked in the field of architectural and environmental acoustics for nearly 40 years, with 80+ research projects, 800+ publications, 90+ engineering/consultancy projects, and 20+ patents. He is President of the International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration (IIAV), and he also chairs the European Acoustics Association Technical Committee for Noise, and the EU COST Action on Soundscape of European Cities and Landscapes. He is recipient of the Advanced ERC Grant Award, currently working internationally on developing Soundscape Indices

Doctor Arnaud Can

Arnaud Can is a research fellow at the UMRAE, within the Gustave Eiffel University, and associate professor at the University of Ghent. His research interests deal with the characterization of urban noise environments and the evaluation of the links between mobility and urban sound environments, relying on road traffic models at differentspatial scales. He has contributed to more than 100 articles, including 47 articles in international peer-reviewed journals (h-index scholar = 23). In recent years, his activity has been centered on ANR CENSE project (scientific coordination), ANR SYMEXPO (main coordinator), I-Site Future SONOREZE (main coordinator). He is the coordinator of the "Urban Sound Environments" axis of the CNRS research federation IRSTV (FR2488) and coorganiser of the biennial international conference Urban Sound Symposium

Professor Jens Forssén 

Jens Forssén is professor at Applied Acoustics, Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. His main area of research is outdoor sound propagation. The research deals mainly with physical modelling and numerical methods, but measurements are also an integral part. Among the research topics are general outdoor acoustics, i.e., effects of meteorology, terrain and ground conditions, sound propagation in urban environments, sound propagation to inner yards, road and rail traffic noise, noise barriers, statistical properties and indicators of urban acoustics and auralization of road vehicles and urban acoustics.
