Keynote Speakers
Tuesday May 19
Bernard is an engineering consultant, working with clients around the world, providing technical assistance and also engineering management advice. He provides a range of technology and management support services, based mainly on his career skills. His career started in internal combustion engine design, development and research and has included automotive electronics and control for powertrain and complete vehicle. He encourages modern design methods including mathematical modelling coupled with advanced testing. He was a Technical Director of Ricardo until 1991 and has been independent since then. He has volunteered with IMechE and SAE as well as other engineering societies and is a Royal Academy of Engineering Visiting Professor in the Principles of Engineering Design at the University of Sussex. Elected a Fellow of SAE in 1997; he remains an active conference organiser for various groups; he served as Chairman of the SAE Noise and Vibration Conference Committee up to 2001; he is a member of the SAE Engineering Meetings Board. He was awarded the SAE Medal of Honor for 2008. He enthusiastically supports engineering professional development and writes articles for magazines on various technical topics and commentaries.
Mr. Schumacher began his career in 1965 at the General Motors Proving Ground in Milford, MI where he worked through various noise measurement assignments until his retirement in 2002 as Manager of Vehicle Exterior Noise Compliance. Following retirement, he went on to establish his own consulting company R.S. Beratung in which he serves as the current principal. A member of SAE since 1977, Dick has served on a number of technical committees. These committees, including the Vehicle Sound Level Forum Committee, Exterior Sound Level Subcommittee and Instrumentation Subcommittee, provided an opportunity to develop a number of presentations that related the background and verification of several current SAE procedures. When Ralph Hillquist developed the idea of providing technical updates to the acoustic field, Dick was an organizer for the first Noise Measurement Workshops. For over 35 years he has continued to participate in the NV Conference as organizer, session chair and peer reviewer. He has also participated in several Institute of Noise Control Engineering (INCE) Conferences as well as the international INCE. The SAE and International Standards Organization committee work has lead to the development of many of the new and updated versions of the vehicle test procedures in use today by the automotive industry. In 9993 Dick was named convenor for the ISO Working Group on Exterior Noise. With the support from SAE, this committee developed the first US lead updates to the United Nations vehicle noise procedure which allowed the automatic transmission vehicles to be tested comparable to the manual transmissions. Dick continues to participate in a number of SAE and ISO activities. Luncheon Keynote
General Background: Age: 56 (b. 12/24/52) US citizen. Lived in England (1968-73). Professional Scientific & Teaching Background: Primary Field of Research: Experimental High Energy/Particle Physics; current member of the Collider Detector at Fermilab Tevatron (1984-present) and ATLAS Detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (1994-present). Past HEP experiments: The Solenoidal Detector Collaboration at the SSC (1989-93), IMB Nucleon Decay Experiment (1981-88), Fermilab E-531 Neutrino Production of Charmed Particles (1977-81). Undergrad Physics Courses Taught: General Physics 3-Semester Sequence, 2-Semester E&M, Classical Mechanics & EM Lab, Advanced/Modern Physics Lab, Light/Optics, Analog Electronics, Digital Electronics, Freshman Discovery Physics of Music/Musical Instruments Course, Upper-level Physics of Music/Musical Instruments. Have taught POM-type courses since ~ 2000. See POM websites: http://online.physics.uiuc.edu/courses/phys199pom/ and http://online.physics.uiuc.edu/courses/phys498pom/ Graduate Physics Courses Taught: Elementary Particle Physics From 1984-present: 15 PhD Graduate Students, 1 MSc Grad Student, 43 Undergrad Physics Student Independent Study/Senior Theses, From 1997-present: 25 NSF Summer Research Experience Undergrad Students. Professional Honors, Awards: Musical Background: Popular/Lay-Audience POM Talks: Statement: The ~ 20 year absence of actively engaging in music in the professional academic period of my life remained submerged in my sub-conscious, but one day in the summer of 1996 I realized I was/had been profoundly unhappy - something major was missing in my life, and had been so for some time� I realized it was {the lack of} music, and thus got back into playing music at that time. However, I also discovered that I was totally unable to shut off the physicist in me while playing, because about half the time I was playing, but the other half of the time I was measuring the heck out of things, trying to learn why things sounded the way they did. I was having so much fun doing this, I thought this would also be a great, very natural/easy way to get students interested/excited about the physics of music and the physics of musical instruments�. Education and teaching our young has been a high priority for me in my professional academic career, so after carefully thinking this through, I proposed offering a lecture-lab POM course here in 2000. It's been a total joy to teach this type of class ever since. The students do indeed seem to enjoy the course, and indeed several students have gone on to get jobs in acoustical engineering upon graduating from the UI, which is gratifying to me. In the process of teaching this class over the years I have learned much myself; thus, the POM course content and lab capabilities grow as time progresses� We're very excited about a number of things we've recently been doing and learning and would like to share them with the attendees of the SAE N&V conference. Hopefully they will be of interest to them, as well! Wednesday, May 20
Frank Markus received his Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois in 1985 and a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Rackham School of Graduate Studies at the University of Michigan in 1987. He spent six years with the Chrysler Corporation, in Vehicle Development engineering and Advance Vehicle Packaging engineering, where he worked on the first-generation Dodge Intrepid/Eagle Vision/Chrysler Concorde vehicles, then on the first Dodge and Plymouth Neons, and finally on the 1996 minivans. Frank has no formal journalism training but he had extensive language arts instruction and competed in writing tournaments in high school. This, plus a love of cars and travel enticed him into joining Car and Driver in April of 1991 as Technical Editor. In 1995 he was promoted to Technical Director, with responsibility for overseeing all testing and editing all magazine content for technical accuracy. In 2003 Frank joined the staff of Motor Trend Magazine, also as Technical Director, working out of the Detroit office. His auto enthusiasm runs the gamut, but he favors British and Italian sports cars with garage space (he owns a 1967 Sunbeam Alpine and a 1967 Maserati Ghibli). |
