Patrick Heidegger

Patrick Heidegger is a researcher at the Institute of Fundamentals and Theory in Electrical Engineering, specializing in aeroacoustic and vibro-acoustic phenomena with 12 publications (2020-2024) and 19 academic activities. His work focuses on computational modeling of noise generation in engineering systems including centrifugal fans, ducts, and refrigeration cycles.

Education:

• BSc
• Dipl.-Ing. (Diplom-Ingenieur, equivalent to Master of Engineering)

His research integrates structural dynamics and fluid mechanics to solve industrial noise problems, particularly in mobile phone components, scroll compressors, and test rigs. He develops finite-element simulation workflows for predicting sound emissions and optimizing acoustic performance in enclosed systems, with strong emphasis on practical engineering applications.

Analysis of his 12 publications reveals consistent focus on computational aeroacoustics, with 50% of work dedicated to duct systems and centrifugal fans. Recent publications (2023-2024) show increasing application of time-domain finite-element methods for anechoic terminations and refrigeration noise reduction, demonstrating progression from theoretical modeling to industrial implementation.
