A short bio, suitable for attribution.
My main work is at Meyer
Sound. I perform research in all areas of
computational acoustics.
I am investigating
innovative algorithms for multi-channel audio processing.
I am also involved in research to improve our ability to model the
complete physical behavior of loudspeakers.
In the Spring of 2009 Meyer Sound launched a new Audio Processing Platform
" D·Mítri"
named after our son Dmitri. I don't know why the product name
has an acute accent over the "i".
The period between the "D" and "M" makes sense. Digital.
This naming follows a
Meyer Sound tradition. The MILO loudspeaker is named
after my sister Tara's son Milo, and the M'elodie is named after her
daughter Elodie. UPM stands for "Ultra Perrin Meyer", and the reason
behind the naming is a great story. If you meet me I will be sure to
tell you. If I forget to tell you, please remind me. The MTS4A, an
under-appreciated loudspeaker, was named after my sister Tara. The
HM-1, sadly discontinued, is "Helen Meyer." Thankfully my mom is not
discontinued, and continues to be the backbone behind the business and
sales strength of Meyer Sound. MICA is a made up name, from a contest
at a trade show a while ago. Both D·Mítri and M'elodie started a
fun new tradition at Meyer - confusing our ERP system with interesting
characters in the official names of products (yes, the apostrophe is an official part
of the M'elodie name.) I have not dared to ask how our documentation department
handled the dot between the "D" and "M" and the accute accent over the "i".
Our future ERP system will handle Unicode characters. Thus, our marketing
department can branch out into Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Cyrillic, or
even Tifinagh (Berber) letters in product names. As of Unicode 5.1, unsupported
alphabets include
Egyptian Hieroglyphs, so
of course my vote for our next product name is
Currently I work (very) part-time for the Program for the Human
Environment at The Rockefeller University as a research assistant.
I am working on a javascript version of
Loglet Lab.
I hope to complete this before the dawn of the "Web 5.0
Bio-Electrical-Swarm" era, because at that point I would have to
design genetically modified llamas to fit loglets, and llamas
historically favor Gompertz S-curves.
I am a graduate of the Courant
Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University. I have a Master's degree
in scientific computing, my thesis was titled "Axisymmetric Acoustic Scattering by
Interpolation."
The research was published in 2006 in the journal Communications in Computational Physics
"On the naturally induced sources for obstacle scattering." (local)(jcp draft).
Therefore, I have an Erdos number of 5.
Yu Chen was an excellent advisor - tough yet patient.
Here is a wordle summary of the research.
I entered the Columbia College Class of '92 as a freshman, studying
east asian languages and physics. I switched to SEAS in my (extended)
junior year, and graduated in 1993 with a B.S. in Applied Physics. My
undergraduate thesis was "The Fractal
Dimension of Music." I was inspired by a fascinating professor in
the department (John Helm),
who taught a seminar on Baysian statistics. John introduced me to Jesse Ausubel, who is one
of the most interesting and innovative environmental scientists
around. He introduced me to the little-known but amazing research
group IIASA in Vienna, where I met
and worked with researchers including Cesare Marchetti, Nebojsa
Nakicenovic, and Arnulf
Gruebler, among many others.
I am a proud graduate of Berkeley High School (class of 1988).
What inspired me to learn math:
javascript (takes a couple of seconds to compute)

or C code
. [2]
main(){float a,b,u;int n,i,A[81],*p; for(u=1;u<4;u+=0.03){for(*(p=A
+80)='\0';A-p;*--p=32); for(a=0.1;a<1;a+=0.019,A[n]++)for(b=a,i=1;i
<=302;i++,n=b*80)b=u*b*(1-b);for(p=A;*p;p++)putchar(*p);puts("");}}
(with obfuscated help from J. Helm).
