Bio

Dr. Haberman is an Associate Professor in the Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas (UT) at Austin with a joint appointment at the Applied Research Laboratories UT Austin. He received his Ph.D. and Master of Science degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2007 and 2001, respectively, and received a Diplôme de Doctorat in Engineering Mechanics from the Université de Lorraine in Metz, France in 2006. His undergraduate work in Mechanical Engineering was done at the University of Idaho, where he received a B.S. in 2000. Dr. Haberman's research interests are centered on elastic and acoustic wave propagation in complex media, acoustic metamaterials, new acoustic transduction materials, ultrasonic nondestructive testing, and vibro-acoustic transducers. His current research focuses on modeling, design, and testing of composite materials, metamaterials, and architected media. His research finds application in technical areas that include the absorption and isolation of acoustical, vibrational, and impulsive energy, devices that make use of non-reciprocal acoustic and elastic wave phenomena, and condition monitoring of lithium-ion batteries using ultrasonic methods. He is a Fellow of The Acoustical Society of America (ASA), a member of the Board of Directors of The International Commission for Acoustics, and has served two terms as the chair of the Technical Committee on Engineering Acoustics of the ASA (2018-2024). He also serves as Associate Editor of The Journal of The Acoustical Society of America and is Deputy Editor of Wave Motion.
