Senior🎓
Top SchoolHyunkook Lee is a Professor of Audio and Psychoacoustic Engineering and Director of the Centre for Audio and Psychoacoustic Engineering (CAPE) and the Applied Psychoacoustics Lab at the University of Huddersfield, specialising in 3D, VR/AR and spatial audio research. He combines academic leadership with hands-on engineering, having led perceptual modelling for 6DOF virtual acoustics and developed practical tools such as the VIRTUOSO binaural translator while supervising a multidisciplinary team of researchers. Previously a senior research engineer at LG, he contributed to MPEG audio standardisation (SAOC, USAC) and shipped spatial audio engines for mobile devices, evidencing rare industry-to-academia breadth. A Tonmeister-trained recording engineer, he maintains active practice in surround and 3D recording, giving his research immediate real-world grounding. Active in the Audio Engineering Society since 2001 and a current Vice Chair and editorial board member, he blends rigorous peer review with influence on high-resolution audio standards. Notably, his lab operates an ITU-R BS.1116-compliant 22.2 listening room, enabling elite subjective evaluations that inform both theory and product-ready algorithms.
