معرفی
Raymond Panneton is a Full Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Sherbrooke, where he has been a faculty member since 1997. He served as Department Director from 2008-2010 and has progressed through the academic ranks from Lecturer to Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and finally Full Professor. His research focuses on noise and vibration control through advanced material design and characterization.
Dr. Panneton earned his B.Eng. (1990), M.Sc.A. (1993), Ph.D. (1996), and Postdoctoral studies (1998), all from the University of Sherbrooke. His educational background in mechanical engineering provided the foundation for his specialization in acoustics and vibration.
Dr. Panneton's research interests center on the characterization, modeling, and development of materials for noise and vibration control of mechanical systems in alignment with sustainable development principles. His work spans acoustic materials, porous media, acoustic metamaterials, multi-scale modeling, microtomography, and transfer matrix methods. He has made significant contributions to understanding how material microstructures affect acoustic properties, particularly for sustainable and eco-friendly materials. His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on acoustic metamaterials, with particular attention to low-frequency noise control, transfer matrix methods, and inverse characterization techniques. His work bridges fundamental acoustic theory with practical applications in aerospace, automotive, and building industries, showing a consistent trend toward increasingly sophisticated material designs for specific noise control challenges.
Dr. Panneton has received several prestigious awards including:
- Best graduate student paper award from the Association canadienne d'acoustique
- Best graduate student paper award from the American Society of America
- Médaille des gouverneurs from the University of Sherbrooke
- Prix Eckel from the Association Canadienne d'Acoustique
Dr. Panneton has secured substantial research funding from multiple sources including the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), Fonds de recherche du Québec - Nature et technologies (FRQNT), and industry partners like 3M Canada, Venmar Ventilation, and Bombardier. His current research portfolio includes projects on nonlinear vibrational behaviors of metastructures, characterization of advanced materials' mechanical and acoustic properties, and noise reduction in domestic air intake systems. He has supervised numerous graduate students, with several earning awards for their research.
Dr. Panneton is actively involved with the Acoustic Group of the University of Sherbrooke (GAUS) and the Acoustic-Signal-Human Research Center (CRASH-UdeS), fostering interdisciplinary collaboration in acoustics research. His international collaborations include projects with German institutions through the CARIC-ENV-1648 program, focusing on acoustic metamaterials for aerospace applications.
