He completed a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance and Recording Arts and Sciences from the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University. Later he received a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering and Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering \u0026nbsp;from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His Ph.D. research focused on acoustics\u2014in particular hospital acoustics and the effects the noise has on the staff and patients.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Timothy\u0027s current research interest lies in historically informed acoustics. As a cross-section between acoustics, musicology, and architecture, his research group is attempting to recreate the acoustics of historic venues and to look at how the acoustics may have affected composition and\/or performance practice of the day. Additionally, his lab is studying historic period instruments as well by making computer models and physical measurements, and ultimately comparing them to their modern counterparts.\u0026nbsp;Timothy is also an active conductor and pianist. He is the director the Georgia Tech Chorale, the non-auditioned mixed choral ensemble on campus, and is the associate director of the Georgia Tech Chamber Choir, the select auditioned choir.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003Ch4\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EResearch Goals\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003ETo study and understand acoustics of historical buildings (extant or non-extant) in order to have historically informed performances in historical informed acoustics.\u0026nbsp;To model, simulate, and measure period instruments to further our understanding of the music of the time and the sound of historical performances.\u0026nbsp;To develop computer models of historical spaces and to devise better modeling techniques for more robust and more accurate results.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003Ch4\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECourse Offerings\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003EFundamentals of Musicianship IMusical AcousticsChoraleVocal Ensemble (with Dr. Jerry Ulrich)\u0026nbsp;","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EArchitectural acoustics, musical acoustics, psychoacoustics, noise control, early music, computer modeling.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27814","created_gmt":"2013-08-30 10:54:27","changed_gmt":"2013-10-03 10:54:52","author":"Lisa Herrmann","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","extras":[],"hg_media":{"233811":{"id":"233811","type":"image","title":"Timothy Hsu","body":null,"created":"1449243641","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 15:40:41","changed":"1475894903","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:48:23","alt":"Timothy Hsu","file":{"fid":"197617","name":"hsu_0.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/hsu_0_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/hsu_0_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":142804,"path_740":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/hsu_0_0.jpg?itok=mrwFP_Fc"}}},"media_ids":["233811"],"groups":[{"id":"1227","name":"School of Music"},{"id":"60381","name":"CMT - Center for Music Technology"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":["Faculty"],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":{"work":"4048948992"},"contact":[],"email":["timothy.hsu@music.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
