With a focus on the noise footprints of future aircraft, Ben has recently completed his BEng in Aerospace Engineering at the University of the West of England. His growing interest in psychoacoustics developed through study and industry placements has led to experience in the early-stage design of low noise rotor blades, and the development of conceptual noise attenuation strategies aimed at reducing psychoacoustic annoyance for future eVTOL urban operational environments.

Ben has recently joined Hawkins and works alongside Hawkins Acoustics Director, Ros Lambert-Porter, collaborating with architects, manufacturers, facilities managers, and end-users to deliver services including noise impact assessments, room acoustics assessments, noise at work assessments, design consultations and vibration measurements.
