Research
I received my Ph. D. in applied mathematics from
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute,
and M.S. and B.S. degrees in mathematics from
University of Maryland Baltimore
County.
My research interests include mathematical modeling
of shallow water
acoustics and signal processing. My dissertation compared
model results to underwater acoustic data from an experiment performed
off the New Jersey Coast. These comparisons support predictions of recent
theoretical work involving the interaction between nonlinear ocean
internal waves and broadband acoustics. In addition to my
dissertation advisor William
L. Siegmann, I have worked with scientists
from the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution and the
University of Delaware Graduate
College of Marine Sciences.
My current research involves signal processing of seismic signals. In conjunction with scientists at Weston Geophysical Corporation I have recently advised senior undergraduate students on research projects involving the extraction of Green's functions from ambient seismic noise and modeling the earth's crust using receiver functions.
