Welcome to the Musical Acoustics and Transducer Instrument Engineering Laboratory (MATINE Lab).
MATINE Lab is a research group at the KAIST Graduate School of Culture Technology. Our lab studies musical instruments, audio devices, and music-making tools, through the lens of signal processing, physics-based simulation, acoustic measurement, and mechanical engineering. Occasionally, we also make music, musical instruments, and instrument-making tools, and we are always interested in collaborating with musicians, instrument makers, and researchers.
