Summary
Computational modelling plays a significant role in all areas of acoustics and vibration, by helping us to understand the physical processes involved in the generation of sound and vibration in complex systems. For example, by using computational modelling to help us to understand the propagation of noise and vibration in fluid-filled pipeline networks, we can design advanced noise and vibration control strategies. Similarly, by using computational modelling to understand the mechanics of the human cochlea, we can potentially improve the performance of cochlear implants. This talk will briefly review a number of areas of research in the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research that have utilised computational modelling techniques and, in particular, will make links to the industrial partners that both support and benefit from these projects.
Bio
Dr Jordan Cheer is a New Frontiers Fellow at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR). His work covers both active control of noise and vibration and sound field control for audio reproduction. Jordan graduated from the University of Surrey in 2008 with a BMus (Tonmeister) in Music and Sound Recording. In 2009 he received the MSc in Sound and Vibration from the ISVR at the University of Southampton, with a thesis on the design of directional loudspeakers for mobile devices. Following this he carried out his doctoral research in the Signal Processing and Control Group of the ISVR on the subject of active control of the acoustic environment in automobile cabins. Having received the PhD in 2012, he was then appointed as a Research Fellow in Active Control at the ISVR and has since worked on the application of active noise and vibration control to a variety of industrial problems. He was promoted to Senior Research Fellow at the beginning of 2015 and later in 2015 was appointed as a New Frontiers Fellow.
