October 2007. We welcome our new cat, Steinbeck.


Loglet R.I.P. August 1994 - 25 August 2007

Loglet died after a long, mysterious illness, at home, peacefully. He was the friendliest little cat ever. We will miss him!. Action shots: <1> <2> <3> <4> <5> <6> <7> <8> <8b> <9 <10> <11> <12>

About Perrin

I'm interviewed in ProAV magaine (February 2009). Thanks Sam!

The
Rockefeller University Currently I work (very) part-time for the Program for the Human Environment at The Rockefeller University as a research assistant. I am working on a "Web 2.0 Cloud" version of Loglet Lab.

My main work is at Meyer Sound. I perform research in all areas of computational acoustics. I am investigating innovative algorithms for multi-channel audio processing. I am also involved in research to improve our ability to model the complete physical behavior of loudspeakers.

In the Spring of 2009 Meyer Sound launched a new Audio Processing Platform " D·Mítri" named after our son Dmitri. I don't know why the product name has an acute accent over the "i". The period between the "D" and "M" makes sense. Digital. This naming follows a Meyer Sound tradition. The MILO loudspeaker is named after my sister Tara's son Milo, and the M'elodie is named after her daughter Elodie. UPM stands for "Ultra Perrin Meyer", and the reason behind the naming is a great story. If you meet me I will be sure to tell you. If I forget to tell you, please remind me. The MTS4A, an under-appreciated loudspeaker, was named after my sister Tara. The HM-1, sadly discontinued, is "Helen Meyer." Thankfully my mom is not discontinued, and continues to be the backbone behind the business and sales strength of Meyer Sound. MICA is a made up name, from a contest at a trade show a while ago. Both D·Mítri and M'elodie started a fun new tradition at Meyer - confusing our ERP system with interesting characters in the official names of products (yes, the apostrophe is an official part of the M'elodie name.) I have not dared to ask how our documentation department handled the dot between the "D" and "M" and the accute accent over the "i". Our future ERP system will handle Unicode characters. Thus, our marketing department can branch out into Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Cyrillic, or even Tifinagh (Berber) letters in product names. As of Unicode 5.1, unsupported alphabets include Egyptian Hieroglyphs, so of course my vote for our next product name is . [2]

I am a graduate of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University. I have a Master's degree in scientific computing, my thesis was titled "Axisymmetric Acoustic Scattering by Interpolation." The research was published in 2006 in the journal Communications in Computational Physics "On the naturally induced sources for obstacle scattering." Therefore, I have an Erdos number of 5. Yu Chen was an excellent advisor - tough yet patient. Here is a wordle summary of the research.

I entered the Columbia College Class of '92 as a freshman, studying east asian languages and physics. I switched to SEAS in my (extended) junior year, and graduated in 1993 with a B.S. in Applied Physics. My undergraduate thesis was "The Fractal Dimension of Music." I was inspired by a fascinating professor in the department (John Helm), who taught a seminar on Baysian statistics. John introduced me to Jesse Ausubel, who is one of the most interesting and innovative environmental scientists around. He introduced me to the little-known but amazing research group IIASA in Vienna, where I met and worked with researchers including Cesare Marchetti, Nebojsa Nakicenovic, and Arnulf Gruebler, among many others.

I am a proud graduate of Berkeley High School class of 1988.

What inspired me to learn math:

javascript (takes a couple of seconds to compute) [1]

or C code
main(){float a,b,u;int n,i,A[81],*p; for(u=1;u<4;u+=0.03){for(*(p=A
+80)='\0';A-p;*--p=32); for(a=0.1;a<1;a+=0.019,A[n]++)for(b=a,i=1;i
<=302;i++,n=b*80)b=u*b*(1-b);for(p=A;*p;p++)putchar(*p);puts("");}}
(with obfuscated help from J. Helm).
