The fourth edition of the WAVES Summer School held at the Gandia campus addressed the use of numerical methods for simulation in the design and optimization of acoustic systems.
The Gandia campus of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) has hosted the fourth edition of the Master WAVES Summer School. On this occasion, “the relevance that simulation methods are currently acquiring, both in the design and optimization of acoustic systems for different applications: electroacoustics, acoustic insulation, acoustic screens, room acoustics, ultrasound or underwater acoustics,” explains the professor and local coordinator of the WAVES master’s degree, Javier Redondo.
To address the subject under study, the course has counted on professionals such as Paulo Amado-Mendes and Luis Godinho, from the University of Coimbra; Régis Cottereau, from the University of Marseille; Vicente Cutanda and Jonas Helboe Jorgensen from the Technical University of Denmark; Andrés Prieto, from the University of A Coruña and Pablo C. Iglesias, Jaime Galiana and Rubén Picó, from the UPV.
The fourth edition of the Master WAVES Summer School held from June 19 to 25 at the campus facilities, is part of the training program for students in the Erasmus Mundus University Master’s Degree in Waves, Acoustics, Vibrations, Engineering and Sound, WAVES Master’s Degree. It was attended not only by students of the master’s program, but also by professionals and experts interested in the subject.
“We have managed to make it known beyond our borders,” says professor Javier Redondo, “which has led us to have students from different countries. In fact, during this academic year, the WAVES Master’s program has had students from Germany, Argentina, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Canada, Spain, the United States, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, Portugal, Serbia, Sri Lanka, and Turkey.
About the WAVES Master
The WAVES master’s degree, promoted by the Aix-Marseille University, the École Centrale Marseille, the University of Coimbra and the UPV, has been supported by the Erasmus Mundus program. The two-year, face-to-face course, taught in English, has been designed so that students can take advantage of the experience of the four participating institutions, internationally recognized in the field of acoustics, “providing them with a wide range of scientific knowledge and skills in Acoustic Engineering”, as Javier Redondo, professor and local coordinator of the WAVES master’s degree, points out.
On the other hand, the WAVES Master’s Degree “has positioned us in the world of acoustics at an international level,” adds Javier Redondo, professor at the Gandia campus. This center offers the Master’s Degree in Acoustic Engineering. The program is designed to meet the growing market and regulatory demands, providing solid theoretical and practical training.
