About Me

OFI Postdoctoral Fellow in Underwater Communication Systems

I am an OFI Postdoctoral Fellow in the Intelligent Systems Lab at Dalhousie University, conducting advanced research on underwater communication and collaborative marine autonomy. I hold a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Dalhousie University, specializing in electronics and communications, with a particular focus on distributed underwater robotics and mobile computing. I believe in the power of collaboration and knowledge sharing, which I support by disseminating my research and methodologies through various platforms. I have led the Underwater Robotics group at the ISL Lab, focusing on pioneering developments in self-reconfiguring robots and mobile sensor networks. My work contributes to the evolving field of programmable matter, aiming to enhance both academic understanding and practical applications.

Shallow water Low-Frequency propagation Loss Predictions and measurements towards acoustic range characterization

Abstract

Low-frequency ship noise negatively impacts marine ecosystems and interferes with marine mammal communications. In an effort to manage and reduce ship noise in marine environments, high-fidelity propagation loss measurements were conducted across multiple locations to develop a principled shallow water ranging methodology that improves the accuracy of shallow water ship ranging. This paper reports on a proposed propagation loss procedure and presents preliminary results from in-water tests.
