Audio forensics conference draws international attendees
(June 4, 2008) The June 5-7 Audio Engineering Society (AES)’s 33rd international conference, 
Audio Forensics—Theory and Practice, was chaired by Richard Sanders, UC Denver College of Arts & Media Music & Entertainment Industries professor.
About 80 experts in audio forensics from more than nine countries shared papers and exhibits, participated in tutorials and workshops and learned about new technologies from their international colleagues during the event at the Sheridan Denver Hotel. The conference explored the history, hardware and techniques of forensic investigation of audio materials.
One of the workshops, How to Run a Forensic Organization, took the form of a panel discussion and included representatives from public and private forensic labs in the United States and Europe. The panel of experts compared and contrasted audio forensics in private and public labs used across the world.
Three groups of UC Denver students presented papers on: Speaker Identification, Space Identification and The Effects of Race on Voice ID.
An exhibit concerning the proposed new UC Denver Audio/Video Forensics graduate program was also part of the conference. For additional information, please visit: AES 33rd International Conference.
