About Postdoctoral Position
Project Summary: Immersive technologies will transform not only how we communicate and experience entertainment, but also our experience of the physical world, from shops to museums, cars to classrooms. However, long-standing fundamental challenges adversely impact on audio technologies, preventing immersion into realistic acoustic scenes in which the audience feels transported to an alternate reality. Specifically, state-of-the-art immersive audio technologies a) suffer from computational requirements preventing real-time creation of high-quality interactive immersive audio experiences, and b) are limited in their ability to efficiently deliver shared auditory experiences in 3D soundscapes to multiple listeners. CIAT’s vision is to overcome these challenges and transform the state of the art by developing a principled, scalable and reconfigurable framework for capturing and reproducing only perceptually relevant information.

16. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
Project Summary: Early in the COVID-19 pandemic we identified a need to understand what, if anything, fetal exposure to maternal infection does to brain development. We therefore used advanced MRI methods to begin a study of brain development in fetuses and newborns who were in the womb during the pandemic. Brain Health in Gen 2020 allows us to continue this work, to carry out in-depth analyses of this unique dataset and follow-up these children as they enter primary education. It also means we can expand our original sample to capture the likely wide range of outcomes of children who were in utero during the pandemic, both on an individual and population level. This project is unique for its interdisciplinary nature, combining expertise from clinical psychiatry, psychology, paediatrics, brain imaging, immunology, and neuroscience; and for its multiscale approach, spanning in-depth brain investigation in small cohorts through to large-scale population measures.
