Areas of Specialization

Research

My research interests focus on developing sensing systems and methods for acoustic and photographic seafloor mapping. This work involves underwater vehicle mechanical and control system design, navigation data processing, acoustic instrumentation and signal processing, image processing and mapping algorithm development. I also have a joint appointment in the URI Department of Ocean Engineering
