Students attend ASA Conference

Associate Professor Robert White and mechanical engineering students Mischael Anilus, E21, EG22, Reid Baris, Lillian Fullford, and Freidlay Steve, E23, attended the 181st Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA) Conference. Hosted in Seattle, Washington, the conference gathered experts and students from across the country to discuss acoustics and its practical application within the field.

Research presented by the Tufts team included:

Freidlay Steve, Robert Littrell, Craig Core, Don Banfield, and Robert D. White, “Aluminum Nitride Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasound Transducers with Applications in Sonic Anemometry” in the 181st meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, Seattle, WA, Nov 29 – Dec 3 2021. Read more.

Lillian J. Fullford, Robert D. White, Jonathan J. Bernstein, “Vibro-Tactile Display for the Visually Impaired using Miniature Electrostatic Transducers” in the 181st meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, Seattle, WA, Nov 29 – Dec 3, 2021.

Reid Baris, Mischael Anilus, Zijia Zhao, Steve Chau, Wayne Liu, Amish Desai, Michael Emerling, Robert Littrell, Craig Core, Stacey Tang, Luisa Chiesa, Makoto Takayasu, and Robert D. White, “Cryogenic Testing of Microphones and Preamplifiers for MEMS Quench Detection in Superconducting Magnets” in the 181st meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, Seattle, WA, Nov 29 - Dec 3, 2021.

The trip was supported by the undergraduate research fund, the T-Tripods Diamonds Grant, a U.S. Department of Energy grant, the graduate student travel fund, and department funds. The research was conducted with collaborators and co-authors from Vesper MEMS, Cornell University, Tanner Research, MIT, and Draper.

The ASA is the premiere international scientific society in acoustics, dedicated to increasing and diffusing the knowledge of acoustics and promoting its practical application. The 182nd Meeting of the ASA will be held in Denver, Colorado from May 23 - May 27, 2022.
