The ICA Early Career Award is presented at the Triennial Congress to an individual who is relatively early in his/her professional career, and who has been active in the affairs of Acoustics and has contributed substantially, through published papers, to the advancement of theoretical or applied acoustics or both. More than one award may be granted in the same year. The Award consists of a Certificate with citation, an engraved Medal, and a Cash Prize.
Recipients have been:
2004
For both scientific and educational contributions to underwater acoustics, particularly for the role of bubbles in scientific phenomena.
2004
For contributions to nonlinear acoustics, particularly for theoretical and experimental studies of high amplitude ultrasound.
2007
For outstanding contributions to ultrasonics, particularly for studies of propagation and diffraction of acoustic waves.
2010
For outstanding contributions to auditory processing and perception, auditory neuroscience and technical applications of auditory models in hearing technology.
2013
For outstanding contributions to room acoustics, particularly for novel subjective and objective assessment methods of concert halls.
2016
For outstanding contributions to psychological acoustics, particularly the theory of musical cognition and perception.
2019
For outstanding contributions to hearing acoustics, particularly hearing protective and communication devices.
2022
For scientific contributions to underwater acoustics, particularly for the underwater signal processing research area.
2025
For contributions to psychoacoustics and sound perception, particularly for his research on hearing health and cognitive mechanisms in musical context.
