Dr. Roberto Racca has been for many years at the senior management level of JASCO Research (V.P. for Research and Development since 1992 and President since 2000), and has extensive experience in the coordination and running of complex research projects. Dr. Racca’s communication and leadership abilities have been formed and demonstrated in years of scientific work both in academia and in the private sector, including active participation in many scientific symposia. Although his current professional activities are primarily in acoustics, he has worked with distinction in other fields including medical physics and electro-optics. In 1994 Dr. Racca was awarded the Hubert Schardin Gold Medal of the German Physical Institute in recognition, among other work, of his innovative use of CCD imagers in high-speed videography applications. In his long professional relationship with JASCO Research Dr. Racca has played a major role in many acoustics-related projects. His research interests, along with acoustic source detection and localization, include propagation modeling and monitoring of underwater and airborne sound. He is active in the development of methods and standards for assessment of acoustic impact on marine species.
