Rex Andrew is an Engineer in the Ocean Acoustics Department.

Research Interests

Rex's research interests involve the use of acoustic signals to infer the properties of the source mechanism itself or the medium through which the signals propagate. In the ocean, this field is commonly known as acoustical oceanography. This discipline requires the combination of statistical signal and array processing theory with the physics of wave propagation for proper interpretation. Some of the projects with which he has been involved are described in greater detail at the following link -http://staff.washington.edu/rxandrew/
