Biography

Jens Forssén is a Professor in Applied Acoustics at Chalmers University. He leads the Vibroacoustics research group, focusing on outdoor sound propagation and environmental noise. His research is primarily concerned with physical modeling and numerical methods, where measurements play an integral role. His research topics encompass general outdoor acoustics, including the influence of meteorology and terrain on sound propagation in urban settings, noise from road and rail traffic, and the effects of wind turbine noise. He also studies the performance of noise barriers under conditions of atmospheric turbulence and statistical parameters relevant to urban acoustics, and he explores concepts related to auralization for road vehicles in urban environments.
