The AMT programme has been incredibly enriching, particularly the Acoustic Modelling and Simulation course, where I gained hands-on experience with MATLAB and room acoustics - skills that have been invaluable for my final project on double-slope reverb optimisation. Exploring how to enhance speech intelligibility in reverberant spaces like churches has been fascinating, and I’m grateful for the programme’s focus on merging theoretical acoustics with practical coding.
