Biography

Louena Shtrepi is an Associate Professor at the Politecnico di Torino, Italy, in the Department of Energy “Galileo Ferraris”. She holds a university degree in architecture from both the Politecnico di Torino and the Politecnico di Milano. Moreover, she obtained the Alta Scuola Politecnica diploma in 2010 as part of her master’s degree. She received her PhD degree in 2015 in Metrology: Measuring Science and Techniques, and she was awarded the Newman Medal (Newman Student Award Fund and Acoustical Society of America) for excellence in the study of acoustics and its application to architecture. Her research and teaching interests fall into the field of applied acoustics, and more specifically into the field of room acoustics and building acoustics. Since 2012, she has been working on the properties of acoustic materials, acoustic simulations and measurement uncertainties. Furthermore, the aim of her research is to raise awareness about acoustic issues and solutions, from the early stages of the design process, by actively involving architects and designers. She has studied these aspects in depth in multidisciplinary investigations that have also involved subjective perceptual testing. Her research results have been published in highly-rated journals and she has been awarded several grants at different conferences. She teaches in two main graduate courses on the Engineering of Sound Systems in the MSc program in Cinema and Media Engineering, and Exhibit Design: Light, Sound, Climate in Design and Visual Communication. She is a member of AIA (Associazione Italiana di Acustica), EAA (European Association of Acoustical Societies - member of the Technical Committee for Building and Room Acoustics), and ASA (Acoustical Society of America).
