Cool’s research primarily involves the design and validation of innovative materials that exhibit unique acoustic properties. Key areas of her work include:
: Investigating structures that use internal resonances to create "bandgaps"—frequency ranges where sound or vibrations cannot propagate. vanessa cool
: Experimentally validating 2D sandwich panels designed through topology optimization to reduce noise in industrial and aerospace applications. Notable Publications such as accelerated dispersion curve calculations
: Advancing computational techniques, such as accelerated dispersion curve calculations , to efficiently model how waves move through complex, repeating patterns. vanessa cool
She has contributed to several high-impact journals, including:
