Stefan Schoder

Stefan Schoder is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Fundamentals and Theory in Electrical Engineering, Graz University of Technology. His research focuses on aeroacoustics, fluid dynamics, acoustic resonance, and noise control, with applications in aerospace, automotive, and biomedical engineering. He employs advanced computational methods like Finite Element Analysis and the Discontinuous Galerkin method to model complex fluid-acoustic interactions.

Schoder's work spans experimental and theoretical investigations of sound generation, turbulence, and vibroacoustic phenomena. Key projects include optimizing low-pressure axial fans, analyzing wind noise in medical devices, and developing digital twins for prosthetics. His publications emphasize predictive modeling of acoustics in industrial and environmental contexts.

He has received multiple scientific awards, including the Weihnachtspreisaufgabe (Christmas Prize Competition) in 2015, 2016, 2018, and 2020. Schoder collaborates internationally, contributing to projects like bioCOMP4acoustics (recyclable sound-absorbing composites) and ECHODA (energy-efficient cooling).
