Michael Carley

Michael Carley is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath. His research focuses on acoustics, aeroacoustics, boundary element methods (BEM), and numerical methods. He actively contributes to teaching aircraft stability and control, acoustics, and fluid dynamics. He is willing to supervise doctoral students in acoustics, vortex methods, and BEM applications. Dr. Carley has secured significant research funding, including EU Horizon 2020 grants for noise reduction in aviation and a Leverhulme Trust project on motorcycle helmet noise. His work spans collaborations in civil aviation, computational acoustics, and fluid dynamics modeling.

Key research areas include rotor noise suppression, numerical methods for acoustic simulations, and metamaterial applications. He has published extensively on BEM advancements and noise shielding techniques. His projects emphasize practical engineering solutions, such as developing noise reduction technologies for eVTOL aircraft and optimizing acoustic metasurface designs.
