Acoustics research and graduate studies within the College of Engineering at the University of Nebraska—Lincoln

Abstract

The University of Nebraska—Lincoln (UNL) offers opportunities to study and conduct research in acoustics within a number of our graduate engineering degree programs, including (1) Architectural Engineering (AE) within the Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction, (2) Civil Engineering (CIVE) and (3) Mechanical and Materials Engineering (MME). Dr. Lily Wang and Dr. Erica Ryherd (faculty in the Durham School, based at UNL’s Scott Campus in Omaha) are active in architectural acoustics and noise. More information on the ‘Nebraska Acoustics Group’ within the Durham School may be found online at http://nebraskaacousticsgroup.org/. Dr. Jinying Zhu (faculty in CIVE, also based on UNL’s Scott Campus in Omaha) focuses in structural acoustics, using ultrasonic waves for non-destructive evaluation of concrete structures and material. Dr. Joseph Turner (faculty in MME, based at UNL’s City Campus in Lincoln) studies ultrasound propagation through complex media for quantitative characterization of mat...
