Research Interests

My research activities have been concerned with acoustic studies of microscopic phenomena at the molecular scale and applications of this knowledge to outdoor sound propagation. The outdoor sound propagation program is concerned primarily with the effects of turbulence on the coherence of propagating, diffracting, and nonlinear waves. Current focus is on the installation of a global system of infrasound receivers.
