John Wiley & Sons is the principal source of funding for this award, through its donation to the AAPT. Jackson is Associate Professor of Physics, Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA. A member of AAPT since 1994, he served as Editor of the American Journal of Physics (AJP) from September 2011 through August 2017, and currently serves as Video Abstracts Editor for the journal. His role as editor included service on the AAPT Board of Directors and the Publications Committee. From 2001 through 2004 he was a member of the AAPT Committee on Science Education for the Public. David P. Jackson Dickinson College Jackson’s undergraduate work in Physics at the University of Washington was recognized as Magna Cum Laude Carlisle, PA with distinction in Physics. After receiving his PhD in physics from Princeton University in 1994, he has held faculty positions at Santa Clara University and Dickinson College, including a term as Chair of the Dickinson Department of Physics and Astronomy from 2006-2009. Jackson played a pivotal role, together with Priscilla Laws and Scott Franklin, in developing the Explorations Helping Students Have in Physics course materials at Dickinson. His leadership and pedagogical insight combined in this endeavor to Meaningful Learning produce a vibrant course for non-majors that emphasizes exploration, inquiry, and the process of doing science Experiences in Physics while conveying to students that physics is fun. His efforts also resulted in a book published by Wiley and, most recently, in an article that appeared in Science. Monday, July 22 In nominating him for this award his colleagues said,

  • Time Reversal Acoustics Applied to Rooms of Various Reverberation Times
    Time reversal acoustics applied to rooms of various reverberation times Michael H. Denison and Brian E. Andersona) Acoustics Research Group, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Brigham Young University, N283 Eyring Science Center, Provo, Utah 84602, USA (Received 21 July 2018; revised 6 November 2018; accepted 8 November 2018; published online 3 December 2018) Time Reversal (TR) is a technique that may be used to focus an acoustic signal at a particular point in space. While many variables contribute to the quality of TR focusing of sound in a particular room, the most important have been shown to be the number of sound sources, signal bandwidth, and absorption properties of the medium as noted by Ribay, de Rosny, and Fink [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 117(5), 2866–2872 (2005)]. However, the effect of room size on TR focusing has not been explored. Using the image source method algorithm proposed by Allen and Berkley [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 65(4), 943–950 (1979)], TR focusing was simulated in a variety of rooms with different absorption and volume properties. Experiments are also conducted in a couple rooms to verify the simulations. The peak focal amplitude, the temporal focus quality, and the spatial focus clarity are defined and calculated for each simulation. The results are used to determine the effects of absorp- tion and room volume on TR. Less absorption increases the amplitude of the focusing and spatial clarity while decreasing temporal quality. Dissimilarly, larger volumes decrease focal amplitude and spatial clarity while increasing temporal quality.

    FY 2018 Year 4 Extension Annual Performance Document Utah Space Grant Consortium Lead Institution: University of Utah Director: Dr. Joseph Orr Telephone Number: (8081) 573-2091 Consortium URL: http://www.utahspacegrant.com Grant Number: NNX15AI24H Lines of Business (LOBs): NASA Internships, Fellowships, and Scholarships; STEM Engagement; Institutional Engagement; Educator Professional Development A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program consists of 52 state-based, university-led Space Grant Consortia in each of the 50 states plus the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Annually, each consortium receives funds to develop and implement student fellowships and scholarships programs; interdisciplinary space- related research infrastructure, education, and public service programs; and cooperative initiatives with industry, research laboratories, and state, local, and other governments. Space Grant operates at the intersection of NASA’s interest as implemented by alignment with the Mission Directorates and the state’s interests. Although it is primarily a higher education program, Space Grant programs encompass the entire length of the education pipeline, including elementary/secondary and informal education. The Utah Space Grant Consortium is a Designated Consortium funded at a level of $760,000 for fiscal year 2018. B. PROGRAM GOALS: Goal 1: In alignment with the NASA Internships, Fellowships, and Scholarships (NIFS) Line of Business, advertise and award Space Grant fellowships, scholarships, and internship awards to students enrolled in Utah institutions of higher education, thereby contributing to our Nation’s future workforce and fuel an increased interest in STEM disciplines. SMART Objective 1: In 2018-19 we plan to award 20 fellowships at the graduate student level.
