Sergey Sorokin

Sergey Sorokin is a Professor in the Department of Materials and Production at Aalborg University, Faculty of Engineering and Science, Denmark. His research centers on solid and computational mechanics, with a focus on structural dynamics, wave propagation, vibro-acoustics, and finite element modeling.

His research interests include:

• Wave propagation in periodic and elastic structures
• Vibro-acoustics and noise control
• Finite element methods and reduced-order modeling
• Nonlinear dynamics of beams and shells
• Acoustic black hole effects and vibration suppression
• Structural optimization and industrial system analysis

The recent publications (2020–2025) demonstrate sustained activity in mechanical wave analysis, nonlinear structural behavior, and acoustic optimization. Key themes include the suppression of bending waves, asymptotic modeling of cylindrical shells, and bi-orthogonality in waveguides. These works reflect an interdisciplinary blend of theoretical mechanics, numerical simulation, and engineering applications.

Scientific contributions include:

• Active participation in long-term research projects on mechanical vibro-acoustics and wave transmission since 2010
• Supervision of at least four PhD students
• Extensive publication record (188 research outputs) with consistent contributions to journals like the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America and European Journal of Mechanics A/Solids

He has advised several researchers and contributed to collaborative projects involving structural optimization and industrial component analysis. His work is deeply integrated into both theoretical and applied mechanical engineering, with emphasis on modeling and enhancing structural performance under dynamic loads.

Sergey Sorokin is actively involved in research through ongoing projects such as 'Mechanical Vibro-Acoustics and Noise' and 'Analysis and Optimization of Wave Propagation in Periodic Structures'. These efforts are supported by advanced computational modeling and collaboration with peers like N. Olhoff and E. Lund.
