1. Dr. Luc Jaouen

He has graduated with a PhD from Sherbrooke University (Canada). During his 15 years of experience in Acoustics he has supervised and co supervised 3 PhDs and 5 master's degree students in the field of characterization and modeling of acoustical porous materials.
2. Dr. François-Xavier Bécot

He holds a joint PhD from Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden) and INSA-Lyon (France), on the impact of acoustical draining surfaces on the tyre/road noise. During his 18 years of experience in Acoustics he has supervised or co- supervised 3 PhDs and 8 master's degree students in the field of acoustics of porous materials.
3. Ing. Fabien Chevillotte

He holds an M.Sc from Sherbrooke University dedicated to the modeling of porous materials using micro-macro approaches. He has supervised or co-supervised 2 PhDs and 7 master's degree students during his 9-year experience in Vibration and Acoustics.
