Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Ochmann has, after university education in Technical Environmental Engineering (Dipl.-Ing.) and Mathematics (Diploma), received a doctor degree (1985) and habilitation in Technical Acoustics (1990) at the Technical University of Berlin at the Institute of Technical Acoustics. He was directing the researcher group Computational Acoustics (PG-CA) at Berliner Hochschule für Technik and several corresponding acoustical research projects. His research activities cover sound radiation from vibrating surfaces, fluid-structure interaction, acoustical scattering, numerical acoustics, boundary element methods, acoustics of moving sources, and acoustical half-space problems.Dr.-Ing. Rafael Piscoya has studied Physics at the Catholic University in Peru. In 1994, he obtained his Magister degree with the work “Acoustic design of rooms using ray tracing”. From 1999 to 2003, he did his Ph.D. studies at the Technical University in Berlin which he concluded with the thesis “Influencing the radiation pattern of horns through collocation of impedances on their side walls”. Since 2003 he has been working in different research projects collecting knowledge and experience in the solution of numerous acoustic problems using numerical methods.
