Research Stay at RWTH Aachen: April 2012
Host: Prof. Michael Vorländer (Institute of Technical Acoustics), Prof. Iring Koch (Chair of Psychology I), Prof. Wolfgang Dott (Institute of Hygiene and Environmental Medicine)
In April 2012, Professor Shinn-Cunningham was a visiting scholar at RWTH Aachen. She participated in the “Impact of Noise on Public Health” research project and an international sympoisum on "Noise, Cognition, and Health".
I had a very stimulating stay in Aachen, with many detailed discussions about research both in ITA and the Institute of Psychology. I learned a great deal from my stay, and was very impressed by the quality of the students and the research projects underway. (…) I became familiar with work that I had not run across, but now cite all the time. (…) The best part of my interactions was becoming familiar with the work of Iring Koch and Vera Lawo. (…) [Their] work is very close to my own, but from a psychological perspective. (…) I am enjoying building new collaborative ties with them, which would not have been possible without my trip to Aachen

Research Stay: September 2011

An interview with Prof. Dahl is available on the Research Alumni web pages.
There was an excellent opportunity to develop research relationships on this visit – start new projects and provide advice to researchers at the school.
The interaction with students and researchers at RWTH Aachen was excellent. The group provided excellent hospitality and the seminars and presentations I was involved in were well received. I received great feedback and felt I was able to help a number of students in their projects.
