Professor Con Doolan ieads the Flow Noise Group within the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering.

He has research interests and expertise in the following areas:

1. Aeroacoustics and flow induced noise: understanding and controlling noise generated by fluid flow (aircraft, wind turbines, submarines, fans, ventilation ducts, automobiles, trains, valves, etc)
2. Fluid mechanics: understanding the physics of fluid flow and applying this knowledge to practical problems in industry
3. Acoustics and noise control: general acoustics, acoustic beamforming, time reversal
4. Wind tunnel testing: aerodynamic measurement, flow measurements and visulalisation, anechoic/aeroacoustic testing
5. Aerospace engineering
