Background
Tim Leishman has been involved professionally in acoustics and audio for over twenty-five years. He began studying, designing, building, and installing loudspeakers and audio systems in his teens. He received a bachelor’s degree in physics (emphasizing acoustics) from Brigham Young University in 1990 and a Ph.D. in acoustics from Penn State University in 2000. His research at Penn State focused on active control of sound transmission through partitions. Before, during, and after his formal education, he worked in industry as a sound system operator, installer, designer, and audio acoustics researcher. Between 1992 and 1996 he worked as an independent acoustical consultant. From 1997 to 2000 he worked as a senior acoustical researcher for Crown International (now the Crown Audio division of Harman International). From 2000 to the present, he has been employed as a professor and researcher in the BYU Department of Physics and Astronomy. He enjoys sharing his experience and passion for acoustics, audio, and active noise control with his students. His former students have been employed as researchers, university professors, acoustical consultants, loudspeaker designers, acoustical systems engineers, and noise and vibration control engineers.
