CAV WELCOMES VISITING PROFESSOR

2006 – 2007

The CAV Quiet Product Design Group is pleased to host Dr. Suming Xie, Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Daliam Jiantong University in Dalian, China. Dr. Xia is involved with vibration and noise analysis projects.

 

The Structural Vibration and Acoustics group is fortunate to have two visiting scholars.  Dr. Deshi Wang, from the Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering of the Huazhong University of Science and Technology will be doing research using nonlinear system theory for drive shaft dynamics analysis. Dr. Alfred Tan Nanyan Technical University in Singapore and University of Southampton will be involved with electroosmotic pump controls.

2004 - 2005

During this past year, the CAV Quiet Product Design Group was pleased to host Dr. Katsuju Akamatsu, an expert in machinery acoustics, recently retired from the Mitsubishi Corporation in Japan.  Dr. Akamatsu put his analytical skills to work in helping our group resolve some singularity problems that appeared in our spatial digitization models.  Incidentally, Drs. Akamatsu and Koopmann were colleagues at the ISVR in Southampton in early 1970’s. 

 The CAV was also pleased to have Dr. (Doug) Chih-Chun Cheng join the Quiet Products Design Group.  Dr. Cheng is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering, National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan.  While at the CAV, ‘Doug’ gave seminars, worked on laboratory projects with our graduate students and in general, contributed to the esprit de corps of the groups.  We were grateful for his visit. 

 

2003 - 2004

The CAV is happy to have Dr. Eiichi Nishida from Tokyo, Japan visiting to do research. Dr. Nishida was previously with Hitachi Heavy Industries. Dr. Nashida is working with Drs. Gary H. Koopmann and Weicheng Chen on active noise control.

Dr. Jin-Huang Huang is visiting Penn State from the Department of Mechanical and Computer-Aided Engineering of the Feng Chia University in Taichung, Taiwan. Dr. Huang conducting research with Dr. Kon-Well Wang in the area of advanced damping composites.
