My research interests involve the use of acoustic signals to infer the properties of the source mechanism itself or the medium through which the signals propagate. In the ocean, this field is commonly known as acoustical oceanography. This discipline requires the combination of statistical signal and array processing theory with the physics of wave propagation for proper interpretation. Some of the projects with which I have been involved are described in greater detail at the links below.

I am a member of the Ocean Acoustics Department and the Blue Water Acoustics Research Group here at APL.

Research Topics: (always under construction)

• Statistical signal fluctuations in long-range ocean acoustic propagation
• Oceanic ambient sound
• Radiated sound from breaking ocean waves
