Professor Con Doolan is both Associate Dean (Academic Programs) for the Faculty of Engineering and leads the Flow Noise Group within the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering.
He has research interests and expertise in the following areas:
- Aeroacoustics and flow induced noise: understanding and controlling noise generated by fluid flow (aircraft, wind turbines, submarines, fans, ventilation ducts, automobiles, trains, valves, etc)
- Fluid mechanics: understanding the physics of fluid flow and applying this knowledge to practical problems in industry
- Acoustics and noise control: general acoustics, acoustic beamforming, time reversal
- Wind tunnel testing: aerodynamic measurement, flow measurements and visulalisation, anechoic/aeroacoustic testing
- Aerospace engineering
