Background
Mr. Mostafa Ranjbar received his PhD in 2011 from the Technical University of Dresden in Germany under the supervision of the Prof. Dr. Steffen Marburg in Noise and Vibration area. He has worked on the structural born noise design optimization areas for more than two decades in automotive, railway and aerospace industrial applications. He is an international pioneer in the design and development of Vibro-Acoustic metamaterials. He has extensive international experiences in industrial research, delivering of high-quality teaching and supervision in noise and vibration, and giving key-note speeches in various countries including of Germany, UK, USA, Turkey, Cyprus, and Iran. He is endorsed as a talent in vibroacoustic metamaterials by the UK royal academy of engineering in 2023. Also, he is a member of UK Acoustics Network Plus (UKAN+), the Vibro-Acoustic SIG of UK Metamaterials Network (UKMMN) and the Institute of Acoustics. Furthermore, he is a lecturer in structural dynamics in Cranfield University. He can speak in German, Turkish, Persian, and English!
Research opportunities
I am working on the theory and application of vibroacoustic metamaterials for noise and vibration mitigation of strcutures. I am providing novel acoustic and vibration solutions for wind energy, aerospace, automotive and health sectors. Furthermore, I am supervising MSc and PhD students both in Cranfield UK and Cranfield-Jiangsu China.
Current activities
I am currently working on the development of the novel solutions for the noise and vibration mitigation in the wind turbine blades. Furthermore, I am expanding my collaboration network with the local and international reserach institutions and industrial sectors in the area of bioinspired metamaterials for energy applications.
Clients
Local and international clients from the aerospace, automotive and renewable energy sectors.
