Jens Forssén

Jens Forssén is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Technical Acoustics, Vibroacoustics research group at Chalmers University of Technology. His work focuses on outdoor sound propagation, community noise, and urban acoustics, with a particular emphasis on the influence of meteorology, terrain, and soil properties on noise levels.

• Research Interests: Outdoor acoustics, urban soundscapes, road and train traffic noise, wind turbine noise, noise barriers, auralization techniques, and health impacts of environmental noise.
• Recent Trends: Analysis of low-frequency noise in urban environments, 3D noise mapping, digital twinning for urban design, and sonic crystal applications in noise reduction.
• Scientific Contributions: Publications on noise propagation models, auralization methods, traffic noise assessment, and health impact studies related to urban sound environments.

Labs & Collaborations: Collaborates with the LISTEN project, SONORUS project, and HOSANNA project to develop urban noise mitigation strategies. His work includes partnerships with researchers like Wolfgang Kropp, Leon Müller, and Maarten Hornikx.
