Michael Heilemann is an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Hajim School of Engineering & Applied Sciences, University of Rochester. He holds a PhD from the same university (2018) and has been on faculty since 2018, focusing on instructional roles. His research emphasizes acoustics and vibration, human-computer interfaces, spatial audio, and digital audio effects, funded by the NSF, ONR, and New York State initiatives. He has been awarded eight patents and multiple teaching awards.
Education: B.S. Physics (Canisius College, 2013); M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (University of Rochester, 2015 and 2018). Research interests include structural acoustic sensing, smart surfaces, and embedded machine learning for sound analysis. Notable work includes the University of Rochester room impulse response dataset and touch-location sensing on elastic surfaces. Awards include the AES Best Technical Paper (2022) and ECE Teaching Excellence (2023-2024).
His work bridges signal processing and mechanical systems, with applications in audio interfaces, tactile feedback, and smart environments. Collaborative grants support projects like smart acoustic surfaces as multimodal interfaces.
