I apologize for not knowing an expert that may help, but I don't believe that it is necessary for the experiment. Here are some articles that may help with your research.

This is a powerpoint so you should be able to find it if you copy/paste the quoted text into google. "wifiblocking.weebly.com/uploads/2/.../wifi-blocking_materials_pages_for_stand.pptx
Wood, plaster, cinder blocks, and glass don't interfere much, but brick, stone, and water (like a giant fish tank) can block a Wi-Fi signal more. The materials that really block Wi-Fi signals are ceramic, concrete, metal, and mirrors, which reflect ..."

This article covers some basic wifi concepts. https://www.thisoldhouse.com/ideas/wi-f ... your-walls

I hope that helps!
