AES Europe 2026

Jamie Angus-Whiteoak Is Emeritus Professor of Audio Technology at Salford University and VP for Northern Europe.

Her interest in audio was crystallized aged 11 when she visited the WOR studios, NYC, in 1967 on a school trip. After this she was hooked, and spent much of her free time studying audio, radio, synthesizers, and loudspeakers, and even managed to build some.

She has worked in industry and academia in diverse fields from integrated optics and acoustics to analogue and digital signal processing. Her expertise ranges from valve (tube) circuits to the applications of esoteric number theory in signal processing. She pioneered UK degree level courses in both music technology and electronic engineering.

She invented; modulated, wideband, and binary absorbing diffusers (BAD), direct processing of Super Audio CD signals, and one of the first 4-channel digital tape recorders. She has worked on signal processing, analogue circuits, Diffusers, and numerous other audio technology topics. She has been active in the AES for 36 years, is a member of the; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and Education, committees. She has been paper’s co-chair for previous conventions, and a judge for the Saul Walker Student Design, and MATLAB Student Plugin competitions.

She has been awarded an AES fellowship, an ISCVE honorary fellowship, an IOA honorary fellowship, the IOA Peter Barnet Memorial Award, the AES Silver Medal, and the AES Gold Medal, for extraordinary contributions as an innovator and inventor in the fields of audio science, acoustics, and signal processing.

For relaxation she likes playing drums and dancing, but not at the same time.
