Linda P. Franzoni

Linda P. Franzoni serves as Professor of Practice and Associate Dean for Student Programs at Duke University, holding dual roles in academic leadership and research.

Her research expertise spans:

• Acoustics of enclosures including rooms and vehicle interiors
• Underwater acoustics focused on submarine radiation and scattering
• Structural dynamics and vibration analysis
• Development of computationally efficient prediction methods for high-frequency sound fields

Professor Franzoni's work targets practical Navy applications through novel homogenization techniques using local/global decomposition, significantly reducing computational demands while maintaining accuracy in acoustic modeling of complex submerged structures.
