What would you like UKAN to do for you?
- I would like to attend summer or winter schools or workshops in my area of interest (Acoustic metamaterials, Machine learning in Acoustics, Noise control, NVH).
- I am actively searching for a PhD position in field of Acoustics specifically related to Acoustic metamaterials.
How would you like to contribute to UKAN?
- I have an industrial experience working in NVH domain. I have specifically worked towards noise control (Sound package development - Testing and simulation) in automobiles.
- I have also worked on Source localization technique for my Master's Thesis titled" Sound Source Localization using Near-field Acoustic Holography (NAH) technique".
Professional/research interests:
As a mechanical engineer I have spent several years of my academic and industrial career in engineering acoustic problems including NVH tests, muffler design and analysis, impedance tube development for both commercial usage and in-house research activities, shock and vibration analysis of structures for land vehicles and surface ships, etc. I also developed code in Matlab to investigate sound propagation in aerosol media through ducts numerically.
