Voichita Bucur

Dr. Voichita Bucur is an Adjunct Professor at RMIT University's School of Science. Her research focuses on the acoustics of wood, materials engineering, and their applications in musical instruments and structural dynamics. She has contributed to studies on resonance wood properties, vibration analysis of musical instruments, and the optimization of concert hall acoustics.

Her work spans interdisciplinary fields, including forestry sciences, classical physics, and mechanical engineering. Notable projects include investigations into the effects of wood species on violin plate vibrations and the development of acoustic optimization techniques for concert halls using ray-tracing methods.

Bucur has authored multiple books and peer-reviewed articles, such as the Handbook of Materials for Percussion Musical Instruments (2022) and A Review on Acoustics of Wood as a Tool for Quality Assessment (2023). Her research also addresses heritage preservation, leveraging acoustic methods to analyze historical artifacts and musical instruments.

Her collaborative efforts involve partnerships with institutions globally, focusing on advancing materials science and acoustic technologies for cultural and engineering applications.
