Wang chosen as plenary speaker for 2020 NOISE-CON
Lily Wang, professor of architectural engineering and associate dean for faculty and inclusion, is one of three plenary speakers at the Institute of Noise Control Engineering's NOISE-CON from Nov. 16-20.
Wang will be presenting her research - "The acoustic experience in restaurants" - that aims at characterizing restaurant acoustics in real-world settings to understand how sound levels in operating restaurants vary with occupancy and the levels of ambient noise sources. The research also includes analysis of how specific architectural and design features, such as seating style and density, may contribute to the acoustic experience.
