Office of Naval Research Graduate Traineeship Award in Ocean Acoustics for Hadi Tavakoli Nia

Abstract

The long term goal of this research is to develop a method for probing the ocean and ocean sediment at larger depth for imaging submerged objects at high resolution. We aim to use nonlinear scattering of sound in the presence of inhomogeneities to obtain high resolution images at high penetration depth. Through the developed theory, we can tackle the problem of high attenuation of acoustic field at high frequencies in ocean sediment, and the low resolution of low frequencies on the other hand.
