Celebrating the life and achievements of Jerry Christoff

Abstract

Jerry spent 61 years of his life in the service of acoustics. He was one of the first people hired by one of the first established acoustical firms in the United States, moving from staff engineer to firm Principal. Jerry started with designing and developing microphones early in his career, followed by his work in auditorium acoustics, remnants of which we still see in today’s auditorium design practices. Later in his career, Jerry worked on improving the measurement methods for exterior façade noise reduction evaluation, and ultimately on HVAC noise study and improvements. Jerry has done it all and left the acoustical community better than he found it. Come join us in celebrating his life and his achievements during this special session.
