Year Name of the Institution Topic of the Lecture
2008 Invited to the monthly luncheon talk of the New Mexico Society of Professional Engineers (NMSPE), Albuquerque, NM Energy Attenuation of a Biologically Inspired Structure – A Patent pending Concept
2007 Invited speaker at 1st New Mexico Consortium’s Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) at Los Alamos National Laboratory, April 20-21, 2007 Sensor Development
2006 During 2006, AFRL/RV conducted acoustic testing on fluid-filled, porous media in a four-microphone transmission loss tube. During 2007, more tests were performed. Future plan is to collaborate in the area of thermal properties of material for thermal control applications. The outcome of the effort has been a patent disclosure submitted by New Mexico Tech and a journal article entitled “An Experimental Investigation into the Acoustic Characteristics of Fluid-filled Porous Structures: A Simplified Model of the Human Skull Cancellous Structure,” in the Journal of Experimental Mechanics in April 2008.
