The Architectural Acoustics Laboratory at Kangnam University focuses on improving sound environments both inside and outside buildings. Its research encompasses room acoustics, sound material development, noise and vibration control, environmental noise, and soundscape studies. The laboratory also investigates the effects of sound on human health, comfort, and well-being. Using advanced measurement and analytical techniques, it designs and evaluates sound environments to enhance acoustic performance. Through research and education, the laboratory aims to contribute to better sound environments and an improved quality of life.
PROFESSOR
Sungchan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Architectural Engineering at Kangnam University. With over 12 years of industry experience, he has contributed to numerous projects in architectural acoustics and in noise and vibration control at Daewoo E&C and Lafarge. He earned his Ph.D. during this period, completing a dissertation titled "Assessment of Annoyance caused by Construction Noises". He was awarded the Minister’s Award for Best Practice of Construction Environment Management in 2015.
