About

Dr. Joseph C. Jackson is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of acoustics, advanced manufacturing, and materials science. His work has fundamentally advanced our understanding of ultrasonic sensing and the creation of novel functional materials. Dr. Jackson is best known for his seminal contributions to airborne ultrasonic ranging, where his 2013 paper on time-of-flight measurement techniques (103 citations) established a critical framework for positioning in environments where optical or electromagnetic systems fail, such as enclosed spaces or areas with multipath interference. He has also been a leader in the emerging field of 3D-printed functional materials, notably demonstrating the first fabrication of polymer-based permanent magnets (63 citations). His innovative application of additive manufacturing extends to acoustic metamaterials, where his 2018 work on Helmholtz resonator-based structures (34 citations) showed how small-scale, 3D-printed designs can break the mass-density law to achieve significant sound absorption—up to 30 dB. Further demonstrating his versatility, Dr. Jackson has explored automated full matrix capture ultrasound for industrial inspection, a technique that creates re-focusable records for complex geometries. With over 200 total citations, his research is shaping the future of smart materials and non-destructive evaluation.
