George V. Frisk received the B.A. degree from the University of Rochester, Rochester, NY, in 1967, the Sc.M. degree from Brown University, Providence, RI, in 1969, and the Ph.D. degree from the Catholic University of America, Washington, DC, in 1975, all in physics.

From 1968 to 1977, he was a Physicist at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC, where he held an Edison Memorial Graduate Fellowship from 1970 to 1974. Since 1977, he has been employed by the Woods Hold Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), Woods Hole, MA, where he is currently a Senior Scientist. From 1983 to 1989, he was Head of the Ocean Acoustics Laboratory, and from 1986 to 1989, he held a J. Seward Johnson Chair in Oceanography, in which capacity he served as Educational Coordinator for the MIT/WHOI Joint Graduate Program in Applied Ocean Science and Engineering. From August 1992 to January 1997, he was Chair of the Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering Department. His research interests include acoustic propagation, reflection, and scattering in the ocean and seabed, acoustic surface waves, scattering theory of waves, computational physics, inverse methods, seismo-acoustic ambient noise, and Arctic acoustics.

Dr. Frisk is a fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and a member of Sigma Xi.
