We are looking for a full-time (5 days a week, 8 hours) Research Fellow/Associate/Assistant for 12 months appointment to commence in September 2019 or as soon as possible.
Project: The research objective of this proposal is to prove the conjecture that the use of porous media with some novel structures can improve noise reduction at low frequencies. Emphasis will be placed on the acoustic characterisation of porous media and acoustic metamaterial. The proposed study is based on the development of numerical models for the proposed design, and their validity will be confirmed by sound transmission and absorption experiments.
This project involves diverse theoretical as well as applied facets of porous materials and numerical prediction as well as acoustics. The candidates are preferred to have prior hands-on experience with theoretical, numerical and/or experimental background in acoustics. This position will also assist in and contribute to project management to ensure the successful completion of the proposed work. Specifically, this position will be responsible for theoretical and experiment development in acoustics research, development of numerical models, data analysis and reporting to MOE. S/he will assist in and contribute to other aspects of the research and dissemination of the results. S/he will contribute to the preparation of scientific manuscripts and/or other literature for publications.

Project: The proposed study aims to develop sound quality assessment and provide an improvement scheme related to the sustainable city design. The study requires close collaborative efforts of a multi-disciplinary team whose expertise covers a broad range of fields such as acoustics, architecture, urban planning, social sciences, statistics and signal processing. It is expected to advance knowledge on human perception of sonic environments and urban city designs across a broadband range of realistic sound sources. This project focus on the prediction of acoustic comfort and the establishment of an effective experimental approach for investigation. The specific aims of the proposed project are the following:
The new scheme is expected to predict sound quality better and improve human acoustic comfort in a given environment, whereby public health in the city affected by noise pollution could also be improved. This innovative approach is expected to arrive at a new methodology and provide tools that will help formulate strategies for maximizing the – likelihood of citizen’s acceptance of the built environment acoustics in the city as well as those related to the design of necessary interventions if required.
This proposed project involves diverse theoretical acoustics as well as experimental acoustics and human perception. This research fellow position will be responsible for the theoretical tasks, data analysis, laboratory-testing and field-testing. S/he will take care of the measurement/recording development and field-testing as well as the development of the sound quality assessment metrics. This research fellow would need extensive prior hands-on experience with the theoretical background as well as acoustic instrumentation and measurements.
This research assistant position will be responsible for the statistical analysis, and theoretical tasks as well as computer-testing, laboratory-testing and field-testing. This position will participate in the formulation of sound perception models for audio-visual settings. S/he will also assist in other aspects of the research and dissemination of the results. The candidates are preferred to register for research degree programme (e.g. PhD or Master by research).

Project: Visualisation is widely used in architecture education within both teaching and design process. This project aims to investigate the effectiveness and benefit of visualisation using computer modelling in the education of space concepts and building system designs in architecture education. The building systems include, but not limited to, ventilation/air-conditioning systems, electrical services, plumbing and draining, fire protection and escape routes, acoustics, and lighting. Therefore, students can develop required skills in integrated building designs and technologies in larger scale buildings. We will illustrate the design process via instructional visualisation framework. The research design is to generate evidence that is associative/correlational and causal using statistical modelling. Quantitative (questionnaire survey) and qualitative (semi-structured interview) studies will be involved. The effectiveness of the proposed research is evaluated by using an assessment rubric for both the understanding of building systems and the ability to take off the material quantities.
This project involves diverse theoretical as well as applied facets of educational research and building systems as well as architecture. The candidates are preferred to have prior hands-on experience with a theoretical background as well as educational research or teaching in architecture or building systems. This position will also assist in project management to ensure the successful completion of the proposed work. Specifically, this position will be responsible for assisting in overall project management as well as theoretical and experiment development in educational research, development of visualisation teaching materials for building systems, data analysis and reporting to MOE.
