- Del has worked in physical acoustics for
over 10 years. Since joining JASCO, Del's primary role has been the development
and implementation of atmospheric acoustic propagation modeling. These projects
have spanned a number of different scenarios (construction sites to artillery
fire) with a range of environmental conditions to predict the generated sound
field. Del has also played a substantial role in investigating signal processing
techniques (Gaussian mixture models using Cepstral coefficients and wavelets,
dynamic time warping, and a number of Kalman filtering techniques to name a few)
to identify mammal vocalizations and whale migratory routes from data collected
in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas. Previously he worked at the National Center for Physical Acoustics
as a Research Associate where he supervised his own research lab, expanded
funding, and mentored several graduate students. While working with the
porous materials department, he developed acoustic methods to delineate and characterize
soils and sediments. In addition to standard geophysical techniques, the type of
measurements that were carried out required unique transducers, signal processing,
and acquisition techniques, which he developed. These projects were funded by
the United States Department of Agriculture, and have been presented at major
international conferences and published in scientific journals. Del also investigated acoustic techniques for target detection
as a part of the effort of Homeland Security. While working with the biomedical
department, he was involved in various imaging techniques, high energy therapeutic
ultrasound, and properties of bubbly media. His work has been presented at major international conferences
and published in leading journals. Del holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc.
in physics,
and will be completing his Ph.D. (in medical physics) at Dalhousie University.
