Congratulations to Aireen Batungbakal from the University of Southern California!  She has been awarded a 2013 Newman Student Award Medal, for her work on developing a design support tool on the acoustic performance of double-skin facades, as nominated by Prof. Douglas Noble.  (As an interesting sidenote, Aireen’s thesis advisor on this work was Elizabeth Valmont, a former recipient of the Newman Medal herself!)
