Research Profile & Publications

Experimental methods and modelling of sound propagation and sources. An important part of the research has been related to acoustic scattering and optimal damping of sound in flow ducts. Recently works related to thermoacoustics and metamaterials have come into focus as well as noise prediction for aircrafts during take-off and landing. The research has resulted in over 5000 citations (h-index 34, i10-index 90) and 11 patents.

Number of supervised theses and postdocs: PhD 17, Licentiate 10, Number of (2 year) post-docs 5.
