Bea Steers is a researcher working on SONYC and related research projects. She has an M.S. in Urban Science and Informatics from NYU CUSP (2018), and a B.S.E. in Acoustical Engineering and Music from the University of Hartford (2017). She decided to change course from UoH’s well-paved acoustical consulting tracks to focus on audio from a data driven perspective, facilitated by her M.S. degree. In addition to audio informatics, she works in web development and software engineering.
