Biography

Physicist. Doctor of Science, with a long-term experience as research engineer, working on exterior and interior aircraft noise including flight testing, but also involved in  noise certification tests for satellite systems and components of the European ISS module. Main working areas are exterior aircraft noise like propeller & jet noise, but also the noise perception and related annoyance (psychoacoustics) research in airport communities. He has experience in wind tunnel & flight-testing and in the coordination of national and international projects. M.Bauer spent more than 10 years in leading positions in Airbus’s central research organisation. In 2018 he founded his own SME Munich Aeroacoustics as managing director. Dr. Bauer is member of several technical working groups, e.g. on UAM noise at NASA, and he is guest lecturer at the University of the German Armed Force s in Munich.
