Acoustic arrays and the industrial partner
This array technology can, for instance, be used to:
- Detect and track the positions of small UAVs (drones)
- Pinpoint the location and presence of an anomalous sound in industrial applications
Squarehead looks for strong candidates that can help to improve the capabilities further.
Research interests and project topics
You should consider joining for a Master’s thesis in this domain, in particular if you are interested in:
- A great challenge
- Cutting-edge technology
- Writing clean code that is easy to test and maintain
- Signal processing
- Deep learning
- Beamforming
There are several available projects within the overlapping fields of beamforming, sound source localization/tracking and classification, and deep learning. And we can provide supervisors with both a strong industrial and academic background.
Students will be supervised in close collaboration with the DSB group.

First point of contact
Please contact Jon Petter Åsen (jonpetter@sqhead.com) for more information. If you want to learn more about the industrial partner, please check out the www.sqhead.com
The academic/university supervisor/s are members of the Digital Signal Processing and Image Analysis (DSB) group at the Department of Informatics. The university supervisor will be selected among the DSB permanent academic staff experts, based on the selected MSc project focus and elaborations together with the candidate and Squarehead.
