Edgar Choueiri Professor of Applied Physics, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Associated Faculty, Department of Astrophysical Sciences, Program in Plasma Physics, Princeton University Professor Edgar Choueiri is Director of Princeton University’s Program in Engineering Physics, and Director of Princeton’s Electric Propulsion and Plasma Dynamics Laboratory (EPPDyL). He is tenured Full Professor in the Applied Physics Group at the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department, and associated faculty at the Astrophysical Sciences Department/Program in Plasma Physics at Princeton University. He holds a PhD in Aerospace Engineering/Plasma Science (1991) from Princeton University. In 2009 Professor Choueiri invented a new technique for producing tonally pure 3D sound from two loudspeakers, allowing a listener to hear sounds located in 3D space as they would be heard in real life. The new technology, called BACCH 3D Sound, is currently being licensed by Princeton University.
