What would you like UKAN to do for you?
Help me develop my knowledge of sectors of interest.
How would you like to contribute to UKAN?
Anyway I can
Professional/research interests:
Psychoacoustics; spatial hearing; hearing impairment and hearing aids
Professional/research interests:
My field of interest is bioacoustic and evolutionary biology. In particular, I am investigation the acoustic behavioural plasticity and how this ability might vary between individuals of the same or different populations. I am also interested in underwater anthropogenic noise and how it can affect the communication between individuals.
What would you like UKAN to do for you?
I would like to get in contact with the Early Carrier group and attend the Summer School this August. I would love to extend my network contact with other PhD colleges and early Post-doc researchers.
How would you like to contribute to UKAN?
I can bring my expertise in both underwater and aerial bioacoustic recording and sound analysis, under an interspecific comparative approach.
Professional/research interests:
Soundscape Optimisation, Perceptual Assessment, Building Acoustics, Architectural Acoustics
Professional/research interests:
My researches are focused on acoustics in air media (acoustic wave in non homogeneous materials), signal processing and in biomedical acoustics (acoustophoresis)
What would you like UKAN to do for you?
I would like to find a professional opportunity (postdoctoral position), either in acoustic applied to air media or in biomedical acoustics in order to discover new topics and to work with new collaborators
How would you like to contribute to UKAN?
I would like to bring my knowledge in each topics where i have acquired an expertise. I wish to contribute to the development of new acoustic experimental setup.
Professional/research interests:
Fluid Mechanics and acoustics: (i) Fundamentals: Computational Aero-Acoustics, Aerodynamics and Hydrodynamics, fluids-structure interaction, bio-fluids, particle flow. (ii) Applications: Power and thrust aero and marine production, wind and water turbines, water engineering, fusion energy, bio-fluids devices
What would you like UKAN to do for you?
Provide news about events
How would you like to contribute to UKAN?
Event organisation is needed.
Equipment:
Anechoic chamber of 27 m^3 fitted for high speed jet noise measurements, microphones array, flow and sound field visualisation apparatus (Schlieren, 3D PIV), two closed low speed wind tunnels with work sections of about 1m*1m, three high speed wind tunnels with work sections of about 0.2m *0.2m, force measurements and scanivalve pressure equipment.
Software or numerical codes:
Linear and non-linear acoustic solvers (linearised Euler e.g. [1], Westervelt equation e.g. [2]), sound-structure interaction codes; linear acoustics and structural dynamics (spectral decomposition) e.g. [3] and non-linear based on Westervelt and FEM/DEM e.g. [4] and WENO5 or FLIC DNS/LES solver e.g. [5].
