Lily M. Wang is an Assistant Professor in the Architectural Engineering Program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. She obtained a B.S.E. degree in Civil Engineering from Princeton University and her Ph.D. in Acoustics from the Graduate Program in Acoustics at the Pennsylvania State University. Her primary research interests are in room acoustics and noise
control. She is actively involved with the ASA, where she cur- rently serves as chair of the Technical Committee on Architectural Acoustics. She was awarded the ASA F. V. Hunt Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Acoustics in 1998, and was the 2005 recipient of the ASA R. Bruce Lindsay Award. Dr. Wang has also been granted a National Science Foundation CAREER Award to advance computer modeling of room acoustics.
Erica E. Bowden is currently pur-
suing her Ph.D. in Architectural
Engineering at the University of
Nebraska–Lincoln, with a focus
in building acoustics. She holds a
Bachelor’s degree in Architectural
Engineering with focus in
acoustics and HVAC from Kansas
State University, along with a
minor in music. Ms. Bowden also
has industry experience in both
mechanical systems engineering and acoustical consulting. Through her involvement with the ASA Student Council and Regional Chapters Committee, she was instrumental in estab- lishing the first official student chapter of the ASA in the world at the University of Nebraska. She is the most recent recipient of the ASA F. V. Hunt Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Acoustics, and will be conducting postdoctoral research next year in Sweden.
