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
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!
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.
Congrats to Savas who passed his oral comprehensive exam on Friday!
His dissertation proposal title is Mitigating Interferer Motion with Universal Adaptive Beamformers
Congrats to CJ Berg on passing his MS defense “A comparison of two approaches for rainfall estimation from underwater acoustics in Buzzards Bay” this morning! CJ will be wrapping up his thesis revisions before starting at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Newport RI in Code 1513.
David passed his oral exams on Tuesday 25 April 2023.
His dissertation proposal is “Robust Spectral Estimation and Adaptive Beamforming with Linear Combinations of Order Statistics”
