Core Team Bio's:

Perrin Meyer recently received his Masters in Scientific Computing from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, where he concentrated on mathematical and computational methods for accurate solutions of partial differential equations. His Masters' Thesis, entitled "Axisymmetric Acoustic Scattering by Interpolation," introduced a new and highly accurate technique for the solution of the Helmholtz equation (the central mathematical equation of acoustics) for axisymmetric scatterers such as musical horns. At Meyer Sound he is responsible for research that produces the core mathematical algorithms used in MAPP to accurately predict the interaction of loudspeakers. Prior to joining Meyer Sound, he worked as a research assistant for the Program for the Human Environment at The Rockefeller University in New York City. There he developed new mathematical techniques for the analysis, decomposition, and prediction of complex growth and diffusion phenomena, which he called "Loglets" (Logistic Wavelets - see http://phe.rockefeller.edu/perrin/).

Mark Schmieder is responsible for the Java GUI/visualization and the C++ based MAPP Online client-server computational infrastructure. His professional background is primarily in Mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE/FEA, and Computer Graphics and Visualization (Digital Equipment Corporation, Autodesk Inc, and a smattering of startup companies), dating back to writing the first device drivers for graphical input devices and z-buffered workstation monitors at DEC in 1981. Mark served on the DMAC (Design, Modeling & Analysis Committee) international standards organization from 1997 to 1999.

Dr. Roger Schwenke joined Meyer Sound laboratories in January of 2001 as a Staff Scientist. He received his Doctorate in Acoustics from Penn State University in December of 2000. His thesis work in advanced detection and estimation methods was sponsored by the Applied Research Laboratory. He has received awards from the Acoustical Society of America, the Penn State University Graduate Department in Acoustics, and has served on the student council of the Acoustical Society of America.
