Elias Arcondoulis is a Lecturer in Acoustics at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) at the University of Southampton. His research interests encompass acoustic beamforming, experimental aeroacoustics, fluid mechanics, and hydroacoustics, with a keen focus on porous-media flow control. Prior to his role at ISVR, he was a Lecturer at the University of Bristol, where he led undergraduate teaching in aerospace propulsion and developed innovative, student-centered teaching methods. He has actively contributed to research projects aimed at designing structured porous breakwaters to safeguard UK coastlines from the impacts of climate change, addressing issues such as coastal flooding and erosion. His work includes the development of analytical models to quantify pressure losses and wave energy interactions at structured porous media interfaces. Arcondoulis is also engaged in enhancing acoustic source localization in complex flows, particularly in aeroacoustic settings, by developing data-driven beamforming techniques capable of accurately imaging noise sources, even in challenging conditions. His interdisciplinary projects often involve collaboration across various engineering and scientific disciplines.
