The annual international noise control conference, InterNoise 2015, was recently held in San Francisco.  At this event, Nicholas Kim received the student paper award for his paper “Microperforated films as duct liners,” Yangfan Liu won the Classic Papers in Noise Control Engineering award for his paper entitled “Overview of Paul E. Sabine’s 1931 paper: A critical study of the precision of measurement of absorption coefficients by reverberation methods,” and Rui Cao won the Korean Society of Noise and Vibration Engineering/Hyundai Motor Company prize for automotive-themed papers for his paper “Point Excitation of a Coupled Structural Acoustical Tire Model with Experimental Verification.”  All three students are currently working towards their PhD’s with Professor J. Stuart Bolton.
