Sonic Boom: How Digital Technology is Transforming Our Relationship with Sound

“Having worked in the engineering and environmental consulting industry for 15 years, I had seen BBN, and then Acentech, from the outside as a bastion of acoustical knowledge and integrity. When the opportunity came up to work here, I jumped at the chance. I thoroughly enjoy working with owners, architects, and other consultants to develop practicable and cost-effective solutions to often intractable problems.”

“I enjoy the large variety of interesting projects that we get involved with here at Acentech, especially the “detective work” aspect of figuring out the sources of noise and vibration. I joined Acentech as part of the merger with RH Lyon Corp in 2005, and the late Dick Lyon (my former thesis advisor at MIT and a luminary in this field) was an inspiration to me throughout my career.”

“During my graduate school education in architecture, I was drawn to the study of acoustics because it combined my interests in music and building technologies. Being a consultant has given me the chance to work with people on solving problems, support the design of buildings, and be part of a team that engages many disciplines.”
