Albano Luís Rebelo da Silva das Neves e Sousa is an Assistant Professor at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon, specializing in Building Physics, particularly in thermal and acoustic performance, as well as structural dynamics. His research focuses on developing materials and construction elements that enhance both thermal and acoustic insulation in buildings, an area critical for improving energy efficiency and indoor comfort. A key aspect of his work includes investigating sound absorption materials and analyzing low-frequency sound transmission, addressing issues in urban environments where sound insulation is increasingly essential. He also explores vibration propagation through building structures, aiming to optimize construction practices that reduce noise and vibration impacts, contributing to sustainable and resilient architectural solutions. Professor Sousa has published his findings in well-regarded scientific journals and collaborates actively with research institutes and industry partners to implement innovative solutions. His teaching at IST covers Building Physics and Structural Dynamics, where he guides students in understanding the complex interplay between material properties and building performance. Through his contributions, he enhances both academic knowledge and practical advancements in the fields of building acoustics, thermal performance, and structural dynamics.
