PhD Acoustics and Noise Control

Course Overview This course explores the multidisciplinary field of acoustics, blending engineering and perceptual science to solve complex sound challenges in the built environment. It moves beyond traditional noise control to adopt a holistic soundscape approach, focusing on improving quality of life through qualitative acoustic design. Key Program Highlights Holistic soundscape approach combining physical measurement and human perception Multidisciplinary research integrating engineering and social science methodologies Expertise in building acoustics, including predictive mathematical models for entire structures Specialized facilities including anechoic and reverberant chambers and sound transmission suites Applied research in key areas like environmental noise, classroom, and hospital acoustics
