- Profile
-
Professor Horoshenkov (FREng) holds a MEng in Electro-Acoustics and Ultrasonic Engineering from Moscow University for Radioengineering, Electronics and Automatics (Russia) and PhD in Computational and Experimental Acoustics from the University of Bradford (UK). Before accepting the position of a Personal Chair at the University of 91直播 in May 2013 he worked at the University of Bradford to progress from a research assistant to a full professor.
- Research interests
-
Professor Horoshenkov鈥檚 main research interests are in sensors for water industry, acoustic materials and physical acoustics. He leads the and EPSRC . He also leads Theme 3 (Inspecting and restoring water infrastructures using robotic autonomous systems) on the
A majority of funding for his research has come from the UK鈥檚 Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the Royal Society, European Union and the industry. Professor Horoshenkov is a member of 91直播 Water Centre, Secretary of the , member of the EPSRC Peer Review College and coordinating editor for the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA).
He has authored/co-authored 3 books, over 180 journal and conference papers, and 9 patents. In recognition of his contribution to the field of acoustics he was awarded the prestigious Tyndall Medal by the Institute of Acoustics in 2006.
He is a founder of Acoutechs Limited, a spin-off University company, which was established in 2000 to exploit the results of his research related to Patent WO/2003/069595 on novel acoustic material manufacturing technology. This technology is now licensed to Armacell and exploited globally with an average marked value of 拢10M per annum.
In 2009 he received a Brian Mercer Award from the Royal Society of London to exploit commercially the results of his other research on novel acoustic instrumentation for rapid inspection of underground pipes (Patent WO/2010/020817). This technology resulted in the new University spin-off company, Acoustic Sensing Technology Limited, of which he is a founder. This enterprise is sponsored by The North West Fund for Energy & Environmental.
