Prof. Andres Prieto: Merging Theory with Real-World Testing
Dr. Andres Prieto, a researcher at CITMAGA and Associate Professor at the University of A Coruña, emphasizes the long-standing partnership with Microflown Technologies. "We have collaborated with Microflown for more than 10 years, particularly in projects in the master of industrial maths". Discussing their recent achievements, Dr. Prieto notes, "In the last four years, Microflown Technologies has been working jointly with the University of A Coruña in an European project called ROMSOC. We worked in a numerical simulation scenario where a PU probe was tested in windy environments." This project exemplifies the practical application of advanced computational models in real-world situations.
Ashwin Nayak: The Importance of Experimental Acoustic Data
Ashwin Nayak, a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute, underscores the value of Microflown's contributions to his field. "Microflown is quite unique in its industry, they provide quite unique sensors and quite unique data in acoustics," he explains. This data is crucial for validating mathematical models aimed to create accurate digital twins.
Nayak further appreciates the collaborative spirit of Microflown Technologies. "Microflown has the spirit to provide the data, collaborate, and develop nice new technologies. So that open-mindedness is quite a rare thing, and that's something that I appreciate about Microflown," he adds, acknowledging the company's role in advancing research through partnership.
Conclusion
The synergy between Microflown Technologies and the academic sector, particularly in projects like ROMSOC, is a powerful testament to the importance of combining computational simulations with experimental data in acoustics research. The insights from Dr. Prieto and Dr. Nayak highlight the significant benefits of this collaborative approach.
