Picture for inspiration from businesswire.com The Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre NLR offers a great opportunity together with the TU/e. Interested in urban air mobility and the perception of noise? This PhD position might be your opportunity! As the project is hosted by NLR, all information and application details can be found at their website. Background…
How much sound does a vegetated roof absorb? To answer that question an appropriate measurement method is needed. In our recently published Applied Acoustics paper by Chang Liu, Fotis Georgiou and Maarten Hornikx, the acoustic impedances of greens roofs were retrieved by fitting parameters of a surface impedance model by measurents on the roofs. It…
At July 1st, both Yi Qin and Indra Sihar will defend their PhD theses. applicable to other types of lightweight floors. Indra Sihar present his work titled: Numerical modelling of transient low-frequency sound propagation and vibration in buildings. His defense starts at 11AM sharp and can be attended online via this Teams link, or at…
Are you interested to further develop a numerical model to model room acoustics, to be part ofa project on open source software development together with other researchers, acoustic consultants and (software) companies? Then apply no later than April 15 for this PhD position of the Building Acoustics group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) photo: Pongsagorn…
Annette Pietersen, Guus Elkhuizen, Jan Leendert van den Heuvel and Maarten Hornikx are working together on a citizen measurement network Airplane noise Groene Hart. Source: nieuwkoper.nl The number of flights to and from Schiphol doubled between 1990 and 2018 to almost five hundred thousand a year. This growth has led to a significant increase in nuisance…
NWO has funded the research proposal A new era of room acoustics simulation software: from academic advances to a sustainable open source project and community. The project will start in 2022, headed by Maarten Hornikx and prof. Alexander Serebrenik. The research and utilization summary can be found below. Here is an interview about the awarded…
The ability to predict acoustics of indoor spaces is highly important to for example avoid noise annoyance in open plan office, to promote speech transmission in sport halls and to optimize acoustics in concert halls. Do to the nature of sound with its small wavelengths compared to the dimensions of typical indoor spaces, no researchers…
We are glad to announce that the virtual acoustics research theme is enforced by Dingding Xie. She is joining on a two-year CSC visiting scholarship. Dingding will contribute to the research line on room acoustics modelling for acoustic virtual reality, thereby utilizing a machine learning approach. Dingding holds a degree in Underwater Acoustics from the…
Maarten Hornikx turned full professor at July 1st of 2019. It is a good habit that new professors hold an inaugural lecture for the academic (and wider) community to introduce himself and his research area. The inaugural lecture of Maarten was initially scheduled in May 2020, but it would not surprise you that it has…
At October 6, 4PM local time, Huiqing Wang will defend his PhD thesis titled Room acoustic modeling with the time-domain discontinuous Galerkin method. Huiqing has further developed the discontinuous Galerkin method to predict sound propagation in rooms. The 1 hour defence can be attended online via this link in MS Teams. The PDF of the…
