Dr. Andrew Mitchell joined UCL in October 2018 as one of four PhD students on the ERC Advanced Grant funded project "Soundscape Indices (SSID)". He recently finished his PhD at IEDE and has begun a Research Fellowship in the same team to continue their work developing tools and methods for designing better sounding cities.

Andrew earned his BSc (Hons) in Physics & Music at Cardiff University from 2012-2015. Andrew worked as an acoustical consultant dealing with noise impacts from wind farms in Wales and England before moving to Los Angeles to focus on environmental and architectural acoustics. Throughout his PhD he has continued working with engineering consultancies, including London-based Hoare Lea, to bring a more holistic soundscape approach in the acoustics engineering and design. Andrew's research is highly collaborative, resulting in him working and publishing with teams at Stockholm University, University of Granada, La Salle URL (Barcelona), and Université Gustave Eiffel.
