Brief Introduction of Professor Jean Louis Guyader

Jean Louis Guyader is professor of Acoustics and Vibration, at the Mechanical Engineering Department of the National Institute of Applied Sciences of Lyon, France. He is the Director of the Vibro Acoustics Laboratory of the Institute.

His research works covers a large field of vibroacoustic problems:

Sound radiation from structure in light or heavy fluid with application to air planes and submarines,

Energy methods for prediction at medium frequency,

Sound transmission through structures including composite panels, absorbing and granular materials, thermo-viscous gases and fluids,

Source identification using inverse problems, time reversal technique,

Development of method for deriving equivalent materials of multilayered materials.

He is the member of the editorial boards of the Journal of Sound and Vibrations, and of Applied Acoustics and he is the associate editor of Acta Acustica united with Acustica. He is Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and of the International Institute of Sound and Vibration. He got the Chavas Award of the French Acoustical society.

He is the Director of the School for Doctoral studies of Lyon University and President of the National Council of University for Mechanical and civil engineering.
