The Acoustics Research Group of the Engineering Department of the University of Ferrara has been active for several years in several fields of acoustics, concerning sound and vibration propagation. In particular, research is carried out in the areas of: building and environmental acoustics, architectural acoustics, psychoacoustics, sound power measurement and characterization of the mechanical and acoustic properties of materials. Research activities are both developed in the context of national and international research projects and contributing to the transfer of technology through several collaboration with the industrial sector. . The Acoustics and Vibration Laboratory is part of MechLav - Laboratory for Advanced Mechanics of Ferrara Technopole - operating within the High Technology Network of Emilia Romagna: Materials Mechanics platform. The Technopole of Ferrara is the complex of industrial research laboratories and technological transfer in which even the smallest of factories can find competent research and try out new production techniques, more efficient materials and innovative products MechLav, established in 2010, is a laboratory specifically dedicated to industrial research, technological services to the industrial sector and the transfer of technology, methodologies and solutions for in industrial and productive applications. MechLav, thanks to highly qualified staff, offers solutions and services in the fields of Mechanical, Computer and Vibro-Acoustic Engineering. .

Shape memory alloys are smart materials for advanced applications in mechanical, civil, aerospace and biomedical engineering. Due to the remarkable property of remembering their original shape, these alloys have a great potential for use within innovative sensors and actuation systems. The research is focused on thin structures (films and wires) and functional composites resulting from the integration of thin shape memory strips in a polymer matrix. These interdisciplinary activities are pursued in cooperation with the Group of Metallurgy of the Department of Engineering.
The study of the mechanics of material interfaces has many applications, from the modeling of contact and damage in composite materials to the design of materials with innovative characteristics . In this field, the research is focused on the development of linear and non linear contact laws simulating the behavior of thin elastic interfaces, also in the presence of anisotropy, residual stresses and damage. These international collaborative research activities are carried out with the Equipe Matériaux et Structures of the Laboratoire de Mécanique et d'Acoustique (CNRS) in Marseille, France (http://www.lma.cnrs-mrs.fr/spip.php?auteur83).

The Photonics and Electromagnetics group of the Department of Engineering focuses his activity on the
theoretical and numerical modeling of the electromagnetic propagation at microwave and optical
frequencies. In this context, the group has a strong expertise in investigating wave propagation, analyzing
and designing optical devices and examining complex phenomena caused by light-matter interactions.
The group is internationally considered for his contributions to the area of nonlinear optics, which include
the theory of parametric wavelength conversion, instabilities in fiber optic devices, studies of optical
solitons and of the nonlinear response of cavities. Propagation in periodic nonlinear media and dispersive
shock waves are other topics of interest.
The group has also developed different numerical tools for the analysis of optical propagation in both time
and frequency domains (Beam Propagation Methods, Finite Difference in the Time Domain, Mode solvers,
etc.), the most demanding of which run on a cluster of personal computers.
Collaborations with research institutions of several counties include Thales Research and Technology,
CNRS-FOTON and CNRS-LPN, the University of Dijon, the University of Lille and the University of Nice in
France, the University of Glasgow and the University of Nottingham in UK, DTU Fotonik in Denmark, KAUST
(King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) in Saudi Arabia.
