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 by the Chinese government in the context of China's national defense needs for acoustic research, under the auspices of Marshall Nie Rongzhen. By the end of 2017, the IOA counts more than 700 researchers focusing on the study of basic and applied acoustics, in the following fields: Underwater acoustics and underwater acoustical detection; Environmental acoustics and noise control technologies; Ultrasonics and acoustical micro-electromechanical system technologies; Communication acoustics, language/speech information processing; Integration of acoustics with digital systems, and network new media technologies.
