Francesco Aletta

Francesco Aletta is a Lecturer at the Institute for Environmental Design and Engineering (IEDE), Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment, University College London. He has held postdoctoral positions at the University of Ghent’s Department of Information Technology (WAVES group) and contributed to projects like AcustiCare, C3Places, and the ERC Advanced Grant "Soundscape Indices."

• Current Role: Lecturer/Assistant Professor, UCL IEDE
• Previous Roles: Postdoctoral Fellow, WAVES group (Ghent University)

His research focuses on soundscapes, integrating acoustic engineering, environmental psychology, and urban design. Key themes include soundscape perception, AI-driven noise analysis, indoor/outdoor acoustic environments, and multisensory (sound-light) interactions in urban spaces. He has developed methodologies for soundscape triangulation and cross-cultural translation of perceptual attributes.

The articles in his bibliography reflect trends in sound-driven placemaking, machine learning for acoustic analysis, and environmental health impacts. His work bridges architectural acoustics and human-centric urban planning, with a focus on sustainable design.
