Congratulations to Caleb Sieck! He has a publication of cover page for Science (journal) in January 2014! Science (journal) is a world leading journal of scientific research with very high impact factor (over 31 in 2012). The article shows the results of a circulator for sound, which sound can be guided to flow in particular directions, but not in the opposite directions. Caleb was advised by Dr. Siu-Kit Lau on his MS degree in UNL in 2009 to 2013 for “Investigation of Sound Transmission through an Open Window into a Room“. He is now studying his PhD in University of Texas at Austin with a topic related to metamaterials.
