Biography:
Sheila studied for her PhD in Experimental Psychology at the University of Cambridge. Her thesis investigated timbre perception in reverberant spaces with two distinctly different types of acoustic radiator; the distributed mode loudspeaker and a cone loudspeaker. She has an MSc in Music Technology from the University of York. Her research career grew from her fascination with psychoacoustics whilst she worked as a senior electronics engineer.
