Mark Bocko, Chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Science in the Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Science: “More and more musicians are producing high-quality audio CDs at home, causing a decline in employment opportunities in traditional recording studios. But the industry that builds the audio equipment and software is booming, as are a number of audio-related industries. So instead of focusing of focusing on traditional audio recording, we chose to address the technological demands of the entire field.”
