Lidia Álvarez Morales is a researcher working on acoustics of heritage sites.
Her pathway to the acoustic and sound engineering began at the University of Malaga (Spain) with a degree in telecommunication engineering with specialisation in image and sound.
She further focused on acoustic engineering with a Master’s degree in Architectural Acoustics at the University of Granada (Spain).
Lidia’s background in the field continued growing through her participation for more than 7 years in several multidisciplinary research projects on the acoustics of heritage buildings developed in the Architecture School of the University of Seville, where she completed her PhD on the acoustic study of large places of worship in 2016.
She spent two pre-doctoral research periods abroad: at the University of Bari (Italy) and at the Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge (UK), where she worked closely with specialists in acoustics analysis, virtual acoustics and sound design. In 2017 Lidia was awarded a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship to develop a 2-year research project (CATHEDRAL ACOUSTICS, Oct 2018-Sept 2020) at the department of Theatre, Film, Television and Interactive Media of the University of York (UK).
