Sensors for Wave scattering: using acoustics waves to measure particulates

早期的美索不达米亚人发现，泥土和稻草的混合物可以创造出坚固耐用的建筑物，我们今天称之为复合材料。今天，这些材料已经在航空航天、汽车、食品科学、通信技术、生物技术等领域取得了惊人的进步。本项目的重点是使用声音来测量粉末等颗粒材料。其目的是通过发展支撑声波与粉末相互作用的基础科学，开发感知和测量粉末的新方法。这名学生将与约翰逊和Matthey的声学团队密切合作，该公司是一家英国跨国公司，开发可持续技术并生产各种粉末产品。该项目将结合联合收割机的数学模型、计算机模拟和约翰逊和Matthey的实验数据，开发出可能对英国经济产生重大影响的新传感方法。

Early Mesopotamian people discovered that a mixture of mud and straw creates strong durable buildings, what we call today a composite material. Today these materials have enabled amazing advances in areas including aerospace, automobile, food science, communications technology, biotechnology.This project focuses on using sound to measure particulates materials like powders. The aim is to develop new ways to sense and measure powders by developing the fundamental science underpinning how sound waves interact with powders. The student, will work closely with the acoustics team in Johnson & Matthey, a British multinational who develops sustainable technologies and produce a wide range of powder products. This project will combine mathematical models, computer simulations, and experimental data from Johnson & Matthey to develop new sensing methods that could have a significant impact on the UK economy.
