Prof. Con Doolan is based in 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 beam-forming, time reversal
- Wind tunnel testing: aerodynamic measurement, flow measurements and visualisation, anechoic/aeroacoustic testing
- Aerospace engineering
