Dr. Stefan Feistel

Stefan Feistel received a Master’s degree in physics from Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany in 2004. He received his PhD on computational modeling of sound systems from the department of technical acoustics at the RWTH Aachen University in 2014. In 2000, together with Dr. Wolfgang Ahnert, he founded SDA Software Design Ahnert GmbH, which is dedicated to the development of acoustic modeling and measuring software, such as the simulation software EASE and the measurement tool EASERA. To coordinate the worldwide marketing and distribution activities, the Ahnert Feistel Media Group (AFMG) was established in 2006. Stefan Feistel is a member of AES, the ASA, the DEGA, as well as of several IEC standards working groups. Dr. Feistel authored or co-authored more than 100 papers and patents focusing on software projects and related mathematical, numerical, and experimental background studies. The JAES article on Methods and Limitations of Line Source Simulation has been distinguished with the AES Publications Award 2010. Stefan Feistel is the author of the book Modeling the Radiation of Modern Sound Systems in High Resolution, and a co-author of several books including Messtechnik der Akustik, edited by M. Möser, Handbook for Sound Engineers, edited by G. Ballou, Sound Reinforcement for Audio Engineers, edited by Wolfgang Ahnert and Dirk Noy, and Architectural Acoustics Handbook, edited by Ning Xiang.
