Dr Thomas Lagö has been selected to take part in the SAE team for Small Engine Technology (SETC) Conferences. He will act as an organizer for sessions on Noise/Vibration/Harshness (NVH). He has taken over this role from Ken Kicinski of Harley-Davidson USA. JSAE, Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan, is pleased to announce that the 21st Small Engine Technology Conference (SETC) will be held in Osaka, Japan from November 17 to 19, 2015. The conference is jointly sponsored by JSAE and SAE International with the support of Japan Land Engine Manufacturers Association (LEMA) and Japan Marine Industry Association (JMIA). For more information, see: http://www.setc-jsae.com

Dr Thomas Lagö has been involved in SAE International’s NVH team for 15 years and was recently an invited keynote speaker for the SIAT, ARAI, SAE India conference held in Pune, India. The conference was a success with more than 2000 attendees from 25 countries. Ministers and representatives from governments in India, Germany, Japan, Austria, China and Korea were also invited plus other international automotive experts. His keynote “Green and Sustainable Technologies for the Future of Automotive” received great interest and acclaim. Dr Lagö was the only Swedish person invited. For more information, see: https://siat.araiindia.com

AES (Audio Engineering Society) member and part of multiple standardization committees within AES: 

  • X215: Liaison group with SMPTE for Cinema B-chain.
  • X216: Pink Noise Generators (PNG).
  • X218: Calibration of sound systems in rooms. This group will most likely be divided into multiple groups.
  • X219: Impulse Response and FRF:
  • X168: Components: This will be a reference document in regards to components like loudspeaker elements. Great, we can add quite a few things that sort out the good from the bad. Currently, IEC has some info on this but it must be handled better www.iec.ch:  “Electropedia “Glossary.
