research areas
room acoustics
Wave-based Simulation
In this project we are working on using element-based and time-domain numerical techniques for large-scale room acoustics simulations. We use GPUs and cloud computing power to compensate the associated computational expenses.
Room Diffusivity
In this project we are interested in exploring the relationship between the state of sound diffusivity in an architectural space and the acoustic quality and spatial perception of voice and/or music in that space.
Acoustic Diffusers
This is a continuation of a previous project dealing with the calculation of sound diffusion and scattering coefficients of 3D geometries.
building acoustics
indoor noise
This project the Master’s thesis of EAAR LAB’s Christopher Kania. He is working on two different methods of physically and digitally enhance the acoustic comfort of open architectural studio spaces by reducing indoor noise and improving speech privacy.
simulation of insulation
Sachit Verma from our group is working on the prediction of sound insulation properties of the building materials.
sustainable acoustics
In this project we are interested in acoustical materials and how their environmental impact plays in respect to their acoustical characteristics.
environmental acoustics
Smart Noise Monitoring
EAAR LAB’s PhD student, Cory Nickchen, is conducting a research on the use of smart technologies to monitor and map the noise in an as-built environment.
outdoor noise simulation
Updates coming soon.
noise & urban design
Updates coming soon.
