research area
  • 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
