• Lead scientist on the development of planar magnetic speakers.
• In charge of designing, manufacturing and testing the prototype speakers, as well as tuning the parameters to adapt to different applications.
• Expert in speaker acoustic simulation using Matlab and Comsol.

San Diego, CA

• Responsible for the next Nokia’s top of the line smartphone audio components selection, placement, and design of the acoustic cavities.
• Performed acoustic simulation and testing to enhance the phone’s audio quality.
• Performed tuning using signal processing techniques in order to meet various network operators requirements.

• Investigation of the limits of broadband robust matched-field processing (MFP)
• Expert on underwater acoustic propagation, localization/tracking techniques and adaptive signal-processing methods to cancel noise and interferers.
• Investigated the limiting factors for accurate underwater acoustic source localization, and extended the viability of the method with respect to those factors.
• Applied robust adaptive processing methods to minimize the effect of imperfect knowledge of the environment (model mismatch problem).
• Enhanced the signal's detectability by estimating the unknown source spectrum and processing frequencies coherently.
• Studied MFP in the challenging high frequency regime (3.5 KHz).

• Processed acoustic data gathered by a multiple frequency echo-sounder to assess the biomass distribution of krill, plankton and schools of fish along the U.S. Pacific Coast and Hawaiian Islands in an effort to better.

• Determined the acoustic absorption and reflection properties of spherical shapes immersed in fresh water.

• Determination of the attenuation of propagating modes in integrated optical devices.
