BioSketch
Kelsey Hochgraf is a senior consultant in the architectural acoustics group at Acentech, Cambridge, MA. She works on a variety of interdisciplinary projects but has a particular interest in the per- forming arts and educational facilities as well as in acoustical modeling and
auralization. Kelsey also teaches an acoustics class in the me- chanical engineering department at Tufts University, Med- ford, MA. She holds a BSE in mechanical and aerospace en- gineering from Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, and an MS in architectural acoustics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY. Find out more about Kelsey’s interests and background in “Ask an Acoustician” in the winter 2017 issue of Acoustics Today.
Women in Acoustics
The ASA's Women in Acoustics Committee was created in 1995 to address the need to foster a supportive atmosphere within the Society and within the scientific community at large, ultimately encouraging women to pursue rewarding and satisfying careers in acoustics.
