dr inż. Katarzyna Sochaczewska

An Assistant and Ph. D student at the Department of Mechanics and Vibroacoustics, AGH UST in Kraków, Poland, and it was from here that she received her M.Sc. degree in Acoustical Engineering in 2017. Throughout her bachelor’s and master’s degree studies the primary focus of her work was centered around the field of binaural and surround sound recording and reproduction while also taking in the general study of recording techniques and practice. This background has led her to her current area of specialisation, namely that of multichannel audio, which, in turn, has resulted in her participation in various projects relating to ambisonic technology. These include soundscapes, IR measurements, and psychoacoustical research into spaciousness and localisation. She has a strong interest in surround and 3D music production and is committed to its ongoing improvement, and this has been recognised by the industry in the form of her having received a number of notable awards for her compositions (AES Recording Competitions, Saul Walker Design Competition, 3D music production competitions). She is also a practicing engineer with experience in live sound, studio recording, broadcasting (RMF Classic) and immersive music production (Audioteka, LifeScore).
