The title of this paper is High-fidelity continuum modeling predicts avian voiced sound production. The study is a collaboration with the Elemans Lab from the Institute of Biology, University of Southern Denmark. The CFMS Lab applied the high-fidelity computational models developed in the lab to the vocalization of birds, which (quite surprisingly) shares similar mechanisms […]

Xudong Zheng, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering, is leading the project that will use computer models to look at the role of mucosal wave propagation in sound production during phonation. His long-term goal is to understand the mechanism that is responsible for the range, complexity and uniqueness of the human voice in order […]
