Mechanical engineering professor emeritus honored with Rayleigh Medal from UK's Institute of Acoustics

Jeremy Henderson | 05/13/24

The first professional honor Malcolm Crocker, professor emeritus in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, received — or at least the first of the 48 honors, awards and recognitions listed in the recently released oral history of his career conducted by the American Institute of Physics, a rare honor itself — was the status of Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America. That was in 1973. His most recent? The Rayleigh Medal, named for Lord Rayleigh, a British mathematician and physicist whose foundational publications in acoustical theory are still studied today. Awarded annually since 1970, it is the highest honor the United Kingdom's Institute of Acoustics can bestow.
