Congrats to Savas on publishing the first journal paper from his PhD research in IEEE Access: “Mitigating Multiple Moving Interferers with the Hybrid Double Zero MVDR Beamformer”

David, James, Mudassir and Marvin attended the ONR-sponsored Ocean Acoustics Bootcamp held at Stony Brook’s Southampton Marine Sciences Research Center. The workshop was taught by Grant Deane (SIO), Andy Singer (SBU), Joe Warren (SBU) and John Buck. The students worked with about 15 other grad students learning to calibrate transducers, design ocean acoustics experiments, and carry out a one day cruise
Perfect weather for another turnaround mooring cruise. Captains Jason and Jarrett Drake brought us to our mooring on the Voyager. This also gave new interns Piper Dienst and Nathan Winchell a chance to test their new “light bulb” crushers to create underwater impulse responses at three ranges as we approached the mooring. We then brought the mooring safely aboard, and switched out the SD card and batteries for another deployment.

Congrats to SPG alum Kaushallya Adhikari, Professor of Electrical, Biomedical and Computer Engineering at the University of Rhode Island, for winning the URI Early Career Faculty Research and Scholarship Excellence Award! The award recognizes Kaushallya for outstanding research and scholarship and her important contributions to URI’s intellectual community. Kaushallya will be recognized at an awards ceremony at URI in early May.
PhD student David Campos Anchieta won a POMA Student Best Paper award from the Acosutical Society of America for his recent paper “Robust power spectral density estimation via a performance-weighted blend of order statistics” presented at the ASA’s December 2023 meeting in Sydney, Australia. Congrats to David for this recognition!
March 21st was the 256th anniversary of Joseph Fourier’s birth. Fourier was the father of signal processing and data science. We celebrated his milestone with a cake!
We weren’t the only ones celebrating. Our friends and colleagues in the Stony Brook University College of Engineering and Applied Sciences also served Fourier themed baked goods.
Saurav’s Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics paper describing the Double-Zero MVDR beamformer from his PhD work was published this week
Wonderful to see this published as we continue to extend this beamformer in our recent beamforming research
Four members of the group presented research at the IEEE Underwater Acoustic Signal Processing Workshop last week in Exeter, RI. Congrats to Savas, David, Chris and CJ on giving great talks. We also seized the opportunity to get a photo of all of the UMassD Signal Processing Group extended academic family at the workshop, with Dr. David Hague (NUWC/NPT) and Prof. Kaushallya Adhikari (URI) joining us, along with Kaushallya’s students.
We took a break from our usual group meetings to have a short hike in Paskamansett Woods on 17 October 2023.
