The
following is a mostly-complete listing of published research since the graduate music
engineering program began in 1986. They are listed in reverse chronological order -
highlighting the graduate student author and the topic of their thesis. Both the
thesis abstract and the entire published thesis are available (for those we have
electronic copies for).
Further interest in copies of the thesis work below should be directed to the
University's Richter Library.
