PhD scholarship in Porous Materials and Foams Employed in Hearing Aids
Technical University of Denmark (DTU)
The Department of Electrical Engineering and the Centre for Acoustic-Mechanical Microsystems (CAMM) invite highly motivated and talented graduates to apply for a 3-year PhD where you will study porous materials and their application in hearing aids. The mechanical properties of the internal solid structure and the acoustic-mechanical interaction with a fluid determine the behaviour of porous materials when exposed to sound and vibration. Porous materials include foams, fibre materials and woven/unwoven fabrics, and have multiple applications in sound and vibration control. An elastic frame can provide them with mechanical stability when exposed to vibration. In this project you will acquire in-depth understanding of the vibroacoustic behaviour of porous materials used in hearing aids (HAs). You will explore alternative designs, materials, and fabrication techniques that can enhance their performance. Exploration of differences between disordered (normal porous materials) and ordered (acoustic metamaterial) arrangements may become an advanced topics during the project.
Details, qualifications, and online application form are found following the link.
