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.
