Biography
Paul Hursky received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in physics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1978and 1980, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from University of California, San Diego in 2001.
From 1980 to 1999, he was with Lockheed Aeronautical Systems Company, in Burbank and San Diego, CA, where he worked on signal processing algorithm development for sonar systems. From 1999 to 2004, he was with Science Applications International Inc., where he worked on advanced concepts for underwater acoustic applications. From 2004-2017, he was with Heat, Light, and Sound Research Inc., a company he helped start. In 2017, Dr. Hursky founded Sonar-synesthetics LLC. Paul's research interests include underwater acoustics, acoustic propagation modeling, model-based signal processing, marine mammal tracking, and acoustic communications. Dr. Hursky is a member of the IEEE Signal Processing, Ocean Engineering, Information Theory, and Computational Intelligence Societies, and the Acoustical Society of America.
