The College of Engineering, Technology, and Architecture (CETA) faculty Paul Slaboch, Akin Tatoglu, and Eoin King published and presented a total of four papers at last month’s INTER-NOISE conference in Madrid Spain, the annual conference organized by the International Institute of Noise Control Engineering. The conference had over 800 papers with over 1200 attendees from all around the world.

Slaboch worked with senior mechanical engineering undergraduate students Sophie Kaye ’19 and Ethan Casavant ’19 on a project funded by the NASA CT Space Grant Consortium and the Dorothy Goodwin Scholars program. Their paper, titled “Low Frequency Absorption of Additively Manufactured Cylinders,” discussed a novel acoustic liner concept and detailed a set of experiments and analysis performed by the students in the Acoustics Lab. This is a continuation of work started last year by WeSaam Lepak ’18 and Michael Sterner ’18. Lepak was able to attend the conference in Madrid as part of his new research group as a graduate student at Purdue University.

King presented a paper titled "A Balanced Approach to Aircraft Noise Management: The curious case of Dublin Airport’s new runway", which discussed the ICAO recommended approach to aircraft noise control and how it being applied in the development of a new runway in Dublin, Ireland.  

Tatoglu presented a joint research paper titled "Self Driving Car Path Planning Modification with Respect to Rapid Emergency Vehicle Detection" which reported a project update on a Autonomous Mobile Robotics Research Lab and the University’s Acoustics Program and Lab collaboration led by Tatoglu and King respectively. The research is aimed at improving safety in autonomous vehicles of today and the future.

Please join CETA in congratulating our faculty and students on their tremendous work.
