On 17 November 2022, Yusuke Hioka visited Nakadai Lab (PI: Prof Kazuhiro Nakadai) at Tokyo Institute of Technology with Dr Michael Kingan (Acoustics Research Centre, University of Auckland) and held a joint seminar covering recent studies on UAV (drone) audition conducted in each lab. The seminar marked the start of a new collaboration between the labs through our past member Dr Benjamin Yen who is now working at Nakadai lab as the JSPS Postdoctoral Fellow.
