Alan McAlpine graduated with first-class honours in Mathematics from the University of Southampton in 1993 and obtained his PhD in Mathematics from the University of Bristol in 1997. In 1998, he returned to Southampton to join the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) and became a member of the Rolls-Royce sponsored Propulsion Systems Noise group from its inception in 1999. His research focuses on developing and validating theoretical methods to predict the noise generated by aircraft engines, with particular expertise in aeroacoustics, duct acoustics, and nonlinear acoustics. Notable projects include a predictive scheme for the supersonic fan tone noise, known as buzz-saw noise, and new theoretical frameworks to predict spectral broadening of turbine-tones caused by sound propagating through turbulent jet shear layers. Professor McAlpine is also actively involved in teaching at ISVR's undergraduate and master’s programmes in acoustical engineering.
