New Acoustics Professor has Arrived

I am delighted to announce that Michelle Vigeant has joined the Mechanical Engineering Department as of January 2008 as our newest Professor. Ms. Vigeant studied for her Ph.D. at the University of Nebraska, where she researched several room acoustics computer modeling programs, specifically the input of source characteristics such as musical instruments. She has had the opportunity to present her research work at five national and four international conferences, and has won the Robert Bradford Newman Medal for Merit in Architectural Acoustics, a commendation award for an ASA student design competition, as well as an ASA Best Student Paper Award. A native Canadian, Professor Vigeant has been interested in pursuing acoustics since high school and is excited about starting here at U. of Hartford Acoustics. So are we!
