About The Author
“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.”
