About Me
I'm Dr. Imran Muhammad graduated in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from Institute of Technical Acoustics, RWTH Aachen University Germany.
I am currently working at Technical University Ilmenau, Germany as associate and involved in teaching supervision.
I have a work experience in the field of room and building acoustics, acoustics for virtual reality, audio and video coding, deep learning and AI. I started a research assistantship role at the Hanyang University in Seoul, Korea. As a research assistant, I took part in various Korean-government-funded research projects in the areas of virtual acoustics rendering technology. I acquired four patents in signal processing, sound synthesis, and spatial audio rendering while publishing several research articles on international conferences. I moved to Germany to pursue my Ph.D. studies at Institute of Technical Acoustics (ITA) at RWTH University Aachen, where I successfully completed my Ph.D. project on “Building Acoustic Auralization Test Environment for Psychoacoustic Experiment with Contextual and Interactive Features” with a couple of journal publications and multiple conference papers
In October 2021, I joined Brandenburg Labs as a Research Engineer focusing on the areas of room acoustics, acoustics for virtual reality, and auralization.
To gain more insight and experience in teaching and supervision, I joined Building Acoustics Group at Technical University Eindhoven in April 2022, where I supervised the students in the research areas of room acoustics, building acoustics and acoustics perceptual evaluation in virtual reality environments.
