Associate Professor of Architecture Daniel Butko was recently notified that he is the 2020 recipient of the Acoustical Society of America Rossing Prize in Acoustics Education.
The award was established in 2003 from a generous gift made to the Acoustical Society Foundation by Thomas D. Rossing to recognize an individual who has made significant contributions toward furthering acoustics education through distinguished teaching, creation of educational materials, textbook writing and other activities. The medal will be presented to Prof. Butko during the Fall 2020 ASA Conference after his invited paper presentation.
