Vanessa Cool May 2026

She has contributed to several high-impact journals, including:

: Developing methods to design the layout of materials to achieve specific performance goals, such as maximizing modal effective mass or minimizing sound transmission.

Cool’s research primarily involves the design and validation of innovative materials that exhibit unique acoustic properties. Key areas of her work include:

: Investigating structures that use internal resonances to create "bandgaps"—frequency ranges where sound or vibrations cannot propagate.
