Welcome to the research pages of the Acoustics group at the HFI. Here you can find a comprehensive overview of the methods employed within our group, a selection of application examples, and details of our external co-operations. At the moment this does not fully represent the full breadth of our comprehensive research activities, however we are currently in the process of updating this, and more application examples are expected soon. Until then, an idea of our considerable current and past research involvement can be obtained from the list of publications.

For students, we also offer numerous opportunities for project and thesis work, including placements abroad.
