NAG meeting 10-02-13

We hosted a special visitor for this NAG meeting: Prof. Hui Xie, from Chongqing University, who presented on some of the recent research he’s been involved with, including hospital acoustics.  Prof. Xie was visiting UNL with a group of his colleagues to build on existing collaborations they already have with the UNL College of Architecture, meeting with our faculty and students in the Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction within the College of Engineering.  It was very exciting to hear about some of the research the faculty at Chongqing University are doing, with regards to development of urban-rural areas in fast developing areas of China.  The ‘acoustic nugget’ of the week was viewing Dr. Smaldino’s online introduction to classroom acoustics – everyone should watch it!
