TAMPA, Florida, August 29, 2012 – Acoustiblok, Inc. Founder and President Lahnie Johnson has named Sean Hollis Research and Development Engineer for the company’s expanding noise abatement product line division.
Hollis’s responsibilities at Acoustiblok include developing computer-based models to design and determine the most effective use of Acoustiblok products, ongoing testing of existing Acoustiblok products, testing new products and maintaining detailed organization protocols for all Acoustiblok products.
Prior to joining the Acoustiblok team, Hollis spent three years as an associate research assistant for the University of South Florida. The Dade City native has lived in Tampa since 2008.
Hollis will complete his Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from USF in the fall of 2012. His primary research at USF emphasizes self-assembly as a mechanism for large scale manufacturing, with a focus on hydrodynamic instabilities.
Hollis has authored two articles for publication:
“Schrödinger's Equation and Quantum Mechanical Models for Hydrogen" and “Non-equilibrium Phase Transitions in Planar Systems of Coupled Stochastic Oscillators."
During his tenure at USF, Hollis won the USF Director’s Award and the Florida Bright Futures Award. He is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the Council for Undergraduate Research (CUR) and the National Association of Rocketry (NAR).
Hollis has been an invited speaker at the University of South Florida Mathematics Club Lecture: “Schrödinger's Equation and Quantum Mechanical Models."
“Sean is a great addition to our growing research and development team at Acoustiblok, and we’re thrilled to have him with us, Johnson says. “His experience and credentials make him perfectly suited to our goals, and his transition to this important position has been seamless.”

About Acoustiblok:
Acoustiblok, Inc., a NASA spin-off company, has been providing high quality noise abatement products since 1998, earning the industry’s highest ratings from architects, builders, and consumers. Acoustiblok is a proprietary viscoelastic polymer material with a high density mineral content, heavy and yet extremely flexible. As sound waves cause the Acoustiblok material to flex, internal friction occurs and the acoustical energy is transformed into inaudible trace amounts of heat (adiabatic).
Just one, 1/8-inch layer of Acoustiblok in a standard wall can result in more sound reduction than 12-inches of poured concrete. Environmentally friendly, Acoustiblok contains no lead, barium, or asbestos, is UV resistant and impervious to water and mold; it is UL rated and classified in the US and Canada (CUL) for virtually all wall, floor, and ceiling installations.
