Institute of Acoustics, Chinese Academy of Sciences

The Institute of Acoustics (IOA, Chinese: 中国科学院声学研究所) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) was established in 1964[1] by the Chinese government in the context of China's national defense needs for acoustic research, under the auspices of Marshall Nie Rongzhen.[2]

By the end of 2017, the IOA counts more than 700 researchers[3] focusing on the study of basic and applied acoustics, in the following fields:[4]

  1. Underwater acoustics and underwater acoustical detection;
  2. Environmental acoustics and noise control technologies;
  3. Ultrasonics and acoustical micro-electromechanical system technologies;
  4. Communication acoustics, language/speech information processing; Integration of acoustics with digital systems, and network new media technologies.

Seven academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have been elected from the IOA, they were/are : Wang Dezhao, Ma Dayou, Ying Chongfu, Zhang Renhe, Hou Chaohuan, Li Qihu, Wang Chenghao.

IOA is the de facto sponsor of Acoustical Society of China (ASC), a nongovernmental organization officially affiliated to China Association for Science and Technology.[5]

In 2012, the ASC co-hosted with the Acoustical Society of America a joint meeting in Hong Kong.[6] In 2014, the IOA hosted the International Congress on Sound and Vibration in Beijing.[7] In 2015, the IOA co-hosted with The French Acoustics Society The 9th International Conference Auditorium Acoustics in Paris.[8] And according to the IOA official web site, it will co-host with the ASC an International Congress on Ultrasonics in 2021.[9]

The IOA publishes 7 academic journals, among others, Acta Acustica (incl. English version)[10] and Applied Acoustics.[11]
