Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDale Johnson is a postdoctoral researcher and audio engineer with eight years' experience in spatial audio, psychoacoustics, and audio software development. Based at the Applied Psychoacoustics Lab, he develops spatial rendering algorithms, prototypes audio tools in Max, and writes C/C++ and JUCE plugins aimed at perceptually optimized virtual room acoustics. His PhD work focused on perceptual optimisation of virtual acoustics, bridging rigorous psychoacoustic research with practical tools for musicians and sound engineers. Passionate about reverb, synthesis and electronic music, he combines musician-level sensibility with systems-level programming to create expressive audio technology. Dale also engages with entrepreneurial and interdisciplinary initiatives (Lean Launch cohort) signaling a drive to translate research into real-world AR/VR and music-production applications. Colleagues describe him as quietly obsessive about reverberation nuances and pragmatic about shipping usable audio tools.
