- By 31 May, please review and update your Discovery Profiles using the Te Waka Huia Rangahau | Research Outputs system.
- Use the Profile Review Checklist as a guide of the activities to complete as you review and enhance your profile.
- On 7 June, the University Directory will be fully decommissioned and will no longer be accessible or visible inside or outside of the University, Discovery Profiles will replace the externally facing elements of University Directory.
Dr Michael Joseph Kingan
BE (Hons), PhD
Biography
I obtained my PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Canterbury, investigating the aeroacoustic noise produced by an aerofoil. Following my PhD I worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow and then a lecturer at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research at the University of Southampton. During this time I worked mainly investigating the noise produced by Advanced Open Rotor engines. Since joining the University of Auckland in 2015 I have continued my research in aeroacoustics and have broadened my research interests into topics related to wind energy, vibroacoustics and building acoustics. I lead the Acoustics Testing Service at the University of Auckland, which provides testing and contract research services primarily to commercial clients. I am manager of the Acoustics Laboratories and Deputy Director of the Acoustics Research Centre (ARC).
