My guest this week is Prof. Trevor Cox, who is a Professor of Acoustic Engineering at ‪@salforduni‬, an author and broadcaster, the President of the Institute of Acoustics, and a 2 x ‪@guinnessworldrecords‬holder! Trevor is a fascinating person to speak to, and this was a really interesting conversation.
In this interview, some key things we discuss include:
- the work of an acoustic engineer
- how sound is made and received that allows us to communicate
- the importance of engineering within science to help improve the world
- his work on improving the quality and efficiency of hearing aids
- the development of artificial intelligence and the dangers of AI generated voices
- how he won his two Guinness World Records (one of which has since been beaten)
- advice for children and young people, and much more!
