Welcome to Interviews with Latin American Acousticians, a new feature of the Acoustics Today. The interviews will be presented in English as well as in Spanish. Over the course of 2017, a total of six acousticians will be interviewed. The selection criterion involves excellence in their academic and research careers, but also diversity on topics, age, gender, and location. Many excellent acousticians do not appear in this section since the intention is not to list all of them. And there is no attempt to “rank” the interviewees.

Through the interviews we will talk about their education in acoustics, their current responsibilities and work they have done. Some of them are quite involved with acoustics societies and groups.

The main idea is to share experiences around the acoustics science its interdisciplinary and about internationalization of acoustics. We will see how some national societies on acoustics were born, the relation of theses acousticians with other well known acousticians in other regions and continents.

Hope you enjoy Interviews with South American Acousticians!
