Bram Botterman

Bram Botterman is a University Researcher in the Built Environment school at Eindhoven University of Technology, specializing in Building Acoustics with a focus on sustainable construction materials. His research centers on acoustic properties of wood-wool cement boards (WWCB), examining how material composition affects sound absorption performance through experimental and computational methods.

His primary research interests include Building Acoustics, Sustainable Building Materials, and Material Science, with specific expertise in porous media acoustics and acoustic optimization. He investigates critical parameters such as density, flow resistivity, electrical resistivity, and strand configuration using impedance tube measurements and computational modeling to develop eco-friendly building solutions that enhance acoustic performance in constructed environments.

Analysis of his publications reveals a consistent research trajectory focused on characterizing and optimizing wood-wool cement boards since 2016. Both studies demonstrate methodical integration of material science and acoustic engineering principles, with emphasis on how input parameters and microstructural properties influence sound absorption. His work shows particular attention to sustainable material development and practical applications in building physics.
