Conventional and unconventional porous materials for building acoustics: going beyond conventional limits

Raymond Panneton is a professor-researcher in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Université de Sherbrooke since 1998. His research program focuses on the modeling, characterization and optimization of porous acoustic media.

More specifically, he explores the relationships between the macroscopic properties and the local structure of these media by mathematical techniques, homogenization and microtomography. Professor Panneton is affiliated with the Acoustics group at the Université de Sherbrooke (GAUS), which provides an excellent learning and research environment for scientists and graduate students.

In 1998, he co-founded Mecanum Inc., a spin-off company that develops, manufactures and markets specialized characterization equipment and acoustics software. More recently, he has formed a research team on Ecological and structured design of Acoustic Materials (EMA) to promote the use of recycled and recyclable materials in the context of sustainable development.
