Caroline Lubert

Caroline P. Lubert is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at the Department of Mathematics & Statistics, James Madison University (JMU), where she has served since 1999. Her research focuses on predicting high-frequency noise in turbulent jets, particularly rocket launch noise and its vibroacoustic impacts. She leads the Aeroacoustics Lab, applying advanced mathematical methods like the Parker-Sochacki Method to study shock-associated noise in rocket exhaust jets. Lubert holds a PhD and BS in Engineering and Mathematics from the University of Exeter, UK.

Her educational background includes a PhD (1988) and BS (1984) from the University of Exeter. Her work bridges applied mathematics and aerospace engineering, addressing practical challenges in launch vehicle acoustics. Recent publications emphasize historical and contemporary analyses of supersonic jet noise, rocket launch vibrations, and shock wave dynamics.

Key contributions include studies on NASA SP-8072 legacy data, supersonic jet noise modeling, and the Coanda effect’s role in rocket noise prediction. While no awards are explicitly listed, her research has been featured in prominent journals like the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America and AIAA papers. Lubert’s lab focuses on interdisciplinary solutions for aerospace noise mitigation.
