The oceans, covering 70% of the earth’s surface, remain a remarkable frontier on our own planet. While there are numerous ways of exploring its vastness, our research is focused on using sound as a means to probing its secrets. We develop theory and modeling approaches, backed/ motivated by experimental observations, to increase our understanding of the ocean environment and the behavior of marine mammals.

Ocean Acoustics include these research areas:

Environmental Acoustics Advancing the understanding of  the physics of propagation and scattering in the ocean	Signal Processing Developing robust sonar detectors and classifiers
Bioacoustics Investigating sound production,  reception, and behavior in animals
