Kevin Richardson
 

Summary
Mr. Richardson is a junior associate of Vibro-Acoustic Consultants.  He recently completed his Masters of Science degree at the Graduate Program in Acoustics at Penn State University (PSU).  His graduate thesis explored the acoustic applications of nanowire arrays.  This work entailed extensive time with sensitive nanofabrication and characterization equipment such as e-beam lithography, scanning electron microscopes, and atomic force microscopes.  Before graduate school, Kevin worked for Schlumberger Oilfield Services in Louisiana, US, Thailand, and Oman as a senior field engineer.  His expertise in seismic and other acoustic tools was applied under challenging and diverse environments on offshore and land-based rigs.

In 2001, Kevin earned his Bachelor of Science degree from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).  For his undergraduate thesis, he studied shear vibrations of offshore oil risers and became proficient in the industry benchmark modeling program, Shear7.

At Vibro-Acoustic Consultants, Mr. Richardson assists projects involving detailed noise and vibration measurement, theoretical environmental noise modeling, in-situ acoustical treatments, HVAC design for acoustic performance, long-term noise and vibration monitoring, impact modal testing of structures, shaker-excitation dynamic testing of large structures and more.
