Dr. Berthelot's research interests are ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation (NDE), acoustic materials, and laser-based sensors. As a violinist, he is also interested in musical acoustics. Ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation (NDE) refers to the use of ultrasound to probe a given medium and gain useful information about its interior. Dr. Berthelot's research involves the use of lasers to generate and detect ultrasound. Laser ultrasonics is particularly attractive for applications where contact with the specimens is to be avoided (e.g., moving specimen, hot surfaces). He is currently involved in a project aimed at measuring the mechanical properties of complex materials by measuring with lasers the properties of ultrasonic propagation simultaneously in time and frequency (wavelet analysis).

Structural acoustics deals with the problem of sound radiation from vibrating structures (e.g, submarine hulls, aircraft fuselage, automobile interiors, appliances). An important aspect of structural acoustics is to characterize damping of waves in complex acoustic materials. Dr. Berthelots expertise in this area is the use of laser vibrometry to measure the vibrations of complex structures and materials. He and his students have developed a new method to measure the Young and shear moduli of viscoelastic polymers with coated microinclusions that are used as coatings. The method is also used to characterize damping in rubber materials and composites of interest to the tire industry. Dr. Berthelot's interest in acoustic materials also extends to improving existing models of porous absorbing material using a causality principle.

The Integrated Acoustics Laboratory (IAL), with its state-of-the-art scanning laser vibrometer, anechoic chamber, the semi-anechoic and reverberation chambers, offer an excellent opportunity for students to be involved in a variety of exciting experimental projects in acoustics.

Professor Dina Khapaeva joined Ivan Allen College in 2012 as chair of the School of Modern Languages. Khapaeva received a Ph.D. in History from St. Petersburg State University, St. Petersburg, Russia. Her research interests are Russian literature and culture.

Khapaeva has been a researcher at Helsinki Collegium at the University of Helsinki.  She was the inaugural Director for International Relations and Research at the Smolny College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, a joint program between St. Petersburg State University and Bard College that was Russia’s first “American-style” liberal arts college, and was the founding Director of Smolny Collegium, an institute for advanced studies.

Dr. Khapaeva’s scholarly publications include four books and one translation from French; four chapters in collective volumes; more than 25 peer-reviewed articles with several in top tier peer-reviewed international journals published in Russian, English, and French.
