In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Acoustics, Bubble, Sound, Noise and Ultrasound. His work on Speed of sound as part of general Acoustics research is often related to Range, thus linking different fields of science. To a larger extent, Timothy G. Leighton studies Mechanics with the aim of understanding Bubble.

Timothy G. Leighton interconnects Attenuation and Nozzle in the investigation of issues within Mechanics. His work deals with themes such as Shoaling and schooling, Guideline compliance and Soundscape, which intersect with Noise. His study in Ultrasound is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sound, Hearing range, Audiology, Bioacoustics and Ultrasonic sensor.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Anthropogenic sources of underwater sound can modify how sediment-dwelling invertebrates mediate ecosystem properties. (41 citations)
  • Are some people suffering as a result of increasing mass exposure of the public to ultrasound in air (26 citations)
  • Modelling acoustic scattering, sound speed, and attenuation in gassy soft marine sediments. (20 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Acoustics
  • Optics
  • Electrical engineering

His primary areas of investigation include Bubble, Acoustics, Underwater, Submarine pipeline and Sound. His research on Bubble concerns the broader Mechanics. His Mechanics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Radius and Shock.
