In addition, a new laboratory for the characterisation of magnetic and acoustic materials was set up and the Technical Acoustics department was established, in which fundamental developments in modelling and simulation methods (sound generation from flows, novel MEMS loudspeakers based on digital sound reconstruction, acoustic metamaterials, etc.) as well as applications in the medical field (human voice, hydraulically driven knee prostheses) and in the technical field (flow-through and flow-around components in the areas of air conditioning and traffic as well as new concepts in the field of active noise barriers) were developed. Particular mention should be made of the acquisition of the BMK Endowed Professorship on Noise Impact Research: Competence Center for Traffic Noise and Health Noise Impact Research, which was filled by Christian Adams on 1 December 2023 and which will be financed for the first five years by the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology and the companies Arbeitsgemeinschaft Österreichischer Verkehrsflughäfen, ASFINAG Autobahnen- und Schnellstraßen-Finanzierungs-Aktiengesellschaft, AVL List GmbH, KTM Forschungs und Entwicklungs GmbH, Linz Linien GmbH, ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG, Wiener Linien GmbH & Co KG. Afterwards, it will become a regular professorship at TU Graz. In addition, many FWF projects (HumanVoice - Numerical computation of the human voice source; AKURAD - Fluid-Structure-Acoustic Interaction of Enclosed Radial Fans) and FFG projects (FlowNoiseInEmobiles - Aeroacoustics of confined flows in electric vehicles; VirtualProsthesis - Development of a validated numerical simulation model for the prevention of flow noise in prostheses; ECHODA - Energy Efficient Cooling and Heating of Domestic Appliances; DESID - Design of electro sheet processing for improved efficiency of e-mobile drives; HQ-AutoMat - High-quality manufacturing of pre-material for automotive components). In addition, the Collaborative Research Centre – TRR361/F90: CREATOR – Computational Electric Machine Laboratory (DFG/FWF Collaborative Research Centre CREATOR - CRC - TRR361 / F90 - at TU Darmstadt, TU Graz and JKU Linz), the Graz Electromagnetic Compatibility Lab (TU Graz and Silicon Austrian Labs) and the TU Graz LEAD project Aortic Dissection should also be mentioned. Furthermore, many industrial projects were carried out with well-known companies such as AMS AG, Andritz Hydro GmbH, Infineon Technologies AG Munich, MAGNA STEYR Fahrzeugtechnik GmbH & Co KG, Miba eMobility GmbH, Siemens Energy Austria GmbH - Transformers Linz and Siemens Healthcare GmbH.
