Zackery Belanger, Associate

Zackery divides his time at Kirkegaard Associates between consulting in room acoustics, and implementing innovative materials and methods for a wide range of projects. He is currently involved in the application of the boundary element method (BEM) on diffractive surface geometries, general advancement of the computational abilities of the firm, and research into the effects of foam densities on seating performance.

Past project experience includes work on the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center, where he developed custom scripts to define the surface geometry and weighted placement of diffusive surfaces, and researched an innovative, partially reflective, partially transparent fabric of Nomex fire-resistant fibers for the Concert Hall ceiling.
