Constant Hak

Constant Hak is an Assistant Professor with the Building Acoustics research group at the Department of Built Environment, Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His work focuses on reducing adverse health effects caused by human-induced noise while promoting positively perceived sound environments through computational and experimental acoustic methods.

Dr. Hak specializes in room and hall acoustics, developing advanced acoustic measurement techniques based on impulse responses. His research includes analyzing how orchestra members influence stage acoustic parameters across multiple concert hall stages and orchestra pits, as well as creating methods for accurate impulse response measurements in large open-air theaters. Software and measuring equipment developed by Hak is used worldwide for research and engineering applications.

His recent publications demonstrate expertise spanning building acoustics, plasma physics, and indoor environmental quality measurement. The research shows consistent focus on measurement techniques, with applications in architectural acoustics, concert hall design, and educational tools for environmental quality assessment.

Dr. Hak teaches multiple courses including Architectural Acoustics, The Science of Sound, Techniques in Architectural Acoustics, and various Master's projects related to Building Physics and Services. His educational work includes developing the SvS (Senses versus Sensors) device, which helps students understand indoor environmental quality through hands-on measurement of temperature, humidity, light, and sound.
