The UK Acoustics Network (UKAN) Special Interest Group for Underwater Acoustics (SIGUA) will be holding its second one day symposium on 13 December 2021 at the University of Sheffield.
The aim of the day is to allow PhD students to present details about their research to like-minded colleagues and promote feedback and discussion anwd ould like to attract students at all stages of their PhD, including people who may have completed their PhD in the last couple of years. If you have only recently started your PhD you may wish to give a presentation on your chosen research topic, what you hope to achieve and how you intend to go about it.
The event should be of interest to all researchers, practitioners and users of underwater acoustics in government, industry, and academia and members of the SIGUA are encouraged to attend.
During the day there will be showcasing of the entries to the Research Soundings Early Career Competition and the winner will be invited to give a talk about their research and to describe their winning audio clip. Competition details here.
This will be the first in person meeting of the SIGUA since 2019 and will be an opportunity to hear from everyone about the research challenges that they see as a priority for underwater acoustics. If you are interested in sharing your ideas there will be a series of video interviews during the day that can then be used to support future SIGUA workshops and other events.
The UK Acoustic Network will be covering the cost of attending the symposium and so there will be no fee to attend the day and refreshments and lunch will be included. You will need to register to attend, please send your name, affiliation, and contact details to underwater@acoustics.ac.uk. Please add if you are interested in taking part in a video interview.
