Who Are We?
The OPERA Lab, led by Professor Lora Van Uffelen, has a broad interest in the area of underwater acoustics and a particular focus on the use of autonomous underwater vehicles as acoustic receiving platforms. Research projects have included data collection in locations ranging from Hawaii to the Arctic.
Research Areas:
- Long-range underwater acoustic propagation
- Acoustic propagation in a changing Arctic
- Underwater geo-positioning at long-range using acoustics
- Impacts of ocean variability on propagation and geo-positioning
- Passive acoustic monitoring using autonomous underwater platforms
- Benchmarking underwater platform position and self-noise
- Automation of acoustic data processing algorithms
