معرفی
Dr. Yangfan Liu is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University's West Lafayette School of Mechanical Engineering. His primary affiliation is with the Department of Mechanical Engineering, where he focuses on acoustics and noise control research. His work integrates computational modeling, signal processing, and experimental validation to address challenges in noise reduction and sound field analysis.
Research interests include Acoustic Source Modeling, Active Noise Control, Room Acoustics Simulation, and Human Perception of Noise. He develops advanced algorithms for noise mitigation in mechanical systems, such as compressors and wind turbines, and explores novel materials like piezoelectric composites for acoustic applications.
His recent work emphasizes multi-physical modeling of noise generation mechanisms and constraint-based filter design for real-time noise cancellation systems. Collaborations involve CFD-CAA coupling and machine learning for fault diagnosis in electrified powertrains.
Key contributions include the Virtual Rotating Array method for source localization and the Computational Statistically Optimized Near-Field Acoustical Holography (C-SONAH). His research bridges fundamental acoustics theory with industrial applications in automotive, HVAC, and renewable energy sectors.
Dr. Liu is based at the Herrick Labs (HLAB 1008) and can be reached via email.
