Byron Davis
 

Summary
Mr. Davis is a founding Associate and Vice President of Vibro-Acoustic Consultants.  He is a 1998 graduate of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).  During his time at MIT, Mr. Davis held various positions at Bose Corporation, Lucent Technologies, and Panasonic Technologies, working primarily with microscale structures.  After graduation, he began working on vibration and acoustics in large structures.  Prior to helping found Vibro-Acoustic Consultants, Mr. Davis worked with customers to assess metrology tool performance at Applied Materials.

At Vibro-Acoustic Consultants, Mr. Davis leads projects involving detailed noise and vibration measurement, theoretical environmental noise modeling, in-situ acoustical treatments, long-term noise and vibration monitoring, impact modal testing of structures, shaker-excitation dynamic testing of large structures and more. More recently, he has led infrastructure-related projects for SFPUC and other local and federal agencies, providing environmental noise/vibration planning and monitoring and characterization of low-frequency and radio frequency electromagnetic (EMI/RF) environments.
