During his time there, he participated in an acoustic study of Duke's student union as part of a physics course. This experience came full circle when he worked on the renovation of Duke's Baldwin Hall (explored as a case study within this text). He has lectured at Harvard's School of Design, Duke's Pratt School of Engineering, is a member of the National Council of Acoustical Consultants, the United States Institute of Theater Technology (USITT), and an elected fellow of the Acoustical Society of America. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CRC Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50370006941970,"sku":"9780367866105","price":68.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_5bb4beb1-80f5-4462-92bb-16a5afce4bd1.jpg?v=1728528755","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/acoustics-of-multi-use-performing-arts-centers-9780367866105","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
