Our research focuses on active acoustic sensing by humans (machines) and animals. We integrate physics-based models with data-driven methods to extract information from large ocean acoustic datasets, and study echolocating bats and toothed whales as biological models for adaptive sonar sensing. In parallel, we develop open-source software and host hands-on workshops to engage and empower the community in advancing acoustic sensing technology.

Research areas:

• Acoustical oceanography
• Fisheries acoustics
• Animal echolocation / bioacoustics
• Machine learning in ocean acoustics
• Scientific computing and software
