Manfred R. Schroeder
Manfred Robert Schroeder (12 July 1926 – 28 December 2009) was a German physicist, most known for his contributions to acoustics and computer graphics. He wrote three books and published over 150 articles in his field.[1]
Born in
. His thesis showed how small regular cavities in concert halls cause unfortunate resonances.He joined the technical staff at
professor emeritus
(1991).
[2] He was a visiting professor at University of Tokyo (1979).
With Ning Xiang he was a promoter of a synchronous dual channel measurement method using reciprocal maximum-length sequences (2003). He led a famed study of 22 concert halls worldwide, leading to a comparison method requiring no travel.
