Biographical Sketch:
Dr. J. Stuart Bolton received his undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Toronto and his Master’s and Ph.D. degrees from Southampton University’s Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (I.S.V.R.). In 1984, Professor Bolton joined the Faculty of the School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. He performs his research at Purdue University’s Ray W. Herrick Laboratories. Since joining Purdue University, Dr. Bolton has maintained an active research program in Noise Control and related disciplines. His research areas include: analytical and numerical modeling of poroelastic materials; development of experimental techniques for characterizing noise control materials; optimal design of noise control materials and treatments; development of acoustical measurement and signal processing techniques including Nearfield Acoustical Holography; tire vibration and sound radiation; and machinery noise control. He is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America, and the recipient of the Institute of Noise Control Engineering Outstanding Educator award.
