“AI for Acoustics: Innovation, Inclusion and Impact for Social Good”

India International Symposium on Acoustics
Organised By Acoustical Society of India
Co Sponsored by Acoustical Society of America & ICA






Scientific Context
About the
Conference
IISA 2026 brings together acousticians, engineers, scientists, healthcare professionals, and industry leaders across the full spectrum of acoustics, ultrasonics, vibration, and intelligent sound systems. The conference is structured around 11 technical areas drawn directly from the symposium tracks.
From underwater acoustics and environmental noise to speech, sound perception, electro-acoustics, and vibro-acoustics, the program is designed to reflect the complete research breadth described in the brochure

Aero, Hydro & Underwater Acoustics
Research in propagation, sensing, sonar systems, and sound behavior across air and water environments.

Architectural & Building Acoustics
Room acoustics, building performance, and sound environments designed for comfort, clarity, and function

Bioacoustics
Acoustic communication, biological sound studies, and sound-based understanding of living systems.

Environmental Noise
Noise assessment, mitigation, monitoring, and sustainable acoustic planning for built and natural environments.

Instrumentation & Signal Processing
Measurement systems, acoustic devices, signal analysis, and computational methods for real-world applications.

Musical Acoustics
Research on musical sound, instruments, performance acoustics, and the physics of musical expression

Physical Acoustics & Ultrasonics
Wave phenomena, ultrasonics, propagation, and advanced physical principles in acoustical science.

Speech
Speech acoustics, spoken communication, hearing-related systems, and speech-oriented signal technologies.

Sound Perception
Listening, auditory cognition, psychoacoustics, and human response to sound environments.

Transducers & Electro-acoustics
Electro-acoustic systems, transducer design, actuation, sensing, and sound reproduction technologies.

Vibro-acoustics & Noise
Vibration, structure-borne sound, machinery acoustics, and engineering approaches to noise control.
Organizers & Strategic Partners
Jointly Organized By ASI,
University of Calicut, and Kannur University
