My name is Adriano Farina and I am from Parma, Italy.
Here's my brief curriculum vitae.
I was born in Parma on the 19th of September
in 1990. Here I attended the Scuola Elementare R. Pezzani and the Scuola
Media Don G. Cavalli (you can see the short texts my class wrote
here). Now I'm attending the fourth year (starting in September) of
the Liceo Classico G.D.
Romagnosi. Romagnosi is a Classical high school, which means we
study Latin and Ancient Greek, lots of literature and history, two
foreign languages (English and French) and little science and math. In
spite of this I'm very interested in science, and I just finished my
first acoustics article (which can be found
here). Even when I was very little (as soon as 1993)
my dad brought me along when he
went in theaters doing acoustical measurements. Thus I became accustomed
with the principles of acoustics. He also brought me and my family to
most conventions and conferences to which he went, although I wasn't
allowed to enter due to age limits. Furthermore in 2002 and 2003 I went
with him in several theaters around the world measuring their impulse
responses for a project with Waves. I
became an AES student member in 2002,
when I went to the Convention in Amsterdam. Since then I've been at the
2006 San Francisco Convention and to the 2007 Vienna Convention, plus
something like five minor conferences (including WESPAC 2006 in Seoul).
I decided to do an article about mp3 players sound level emission
because I didn't find satisfactory information on the matter on the web,
so I found out myself. For more info about my interests, view the
interest section of this site.
