Bio
Charles is a dedicated Acoustic Engineer deeply immersed in the realm of consumer electronics product development, driven by an unwavering passion for delivering top-tier audio experiences to consumers. His extensive expertise spans the design and testing of audio systems for a diverse range of consumer electronic devices, ranging from televisions, smart cameras, to various multi-channel audio devices. His proficiency covers the intricacies of hardware, signal processing, and software applications, ensuring a holistic approach to audio system development.
At the forefront of successful consumer electronic products, Charles has played a pivotal role in their acoustic development and delivery, with these innovations now enriching the homes of hundreds of thousands of consumers across the UK and Europe. Holding a PhD from the University of Derby (2021), Charles's doctoral studies centered around the development of higher order microphone arrays tailored for immersive 360-degree content. His specialisation extends to Higher Order Ambisonic Microphone Array Design, showcasing his active exploration of calibrating and optimising low-cost higher order arrays for 3D capture, meshing his passions for Acoustics and Signal Processing.
My doctoral study within the College of Engineering & Technology at the University of Derby, focused on the development of higher order spherical microphone arrays for use with 360 degree immersive content.
As an active member of the Audio Engineering Society and Institute of Acoustics, you'll likely find Charles presenting or attending at various conferences and conventions as he continues to pursue his passion for research in acoustics and immersive audio. Charles's academic journey includes earning an MA in Music Production (2014) and a BSc in Music Technology and Production (2013), both from The University of Derby (UK). Charles seamlessly blends academic rigor with a fervent commitment to advancing audio technology, embodying a spirit dedicated to pushing boundaries and setting new standards in the field
During my time at Derby University I worked as a Research Assistant contributing to the "Guitars with Ambisonic Spatial Performance" project GASP, alongside Duncan Werner (2014) as part of the Creative Technologies Research Group (CTRG), at the UoD whilst working on the MA in Music Production.
My research interests include Higher Order Ambisonic Microphone Array Design, particularly the calibration and optimisation of low-cost higher order arrays for 3D Capture
