• physic of the ear, applied psychoacoustics:
   
  • signal processing of the ear, in particular modelling basic psychoacoustic parameters like loudness, roughness, sharpness and other entities related to noise perception
  • development of ear-related quantities for measurement and evaluation of noise
  • analysis of acoustic evoked potentials (within SFB 517 "Neurocognition")
  • subjective localization of sound
    
     
• psychophysics of vibration:
   
  • perception thresholds and jnds of human vibration
  • modelling the "effective" perception of vibrational input (human response model)
    
     
• acoustic wave propagation:
   
  • propagation of sound through a turbulent medium (models and measurements), scattering of sound at structures of turbulence (SODAR), acoustic remote sensing of temperature-, wind-, and turbulence profiles in the atmospheric boudary layer
  • measurement of acoustic impedance, in particular at grazing incidence of sound: Application to room acoustics and detection of drowned chemicals under water (on sediment)
    
     
• technical acoustics:
   
  • noise reduction
  • measurement and identification of noise sources, incl. flow noise
