James H. Wilson received the B.S. degree in mathematics/nuclear physics from the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD, in 1965 and the M.A. degree in applied mathematics and the Ph.D. degree in applied mathematics/nuclear physics from the Pennsylvania State University, State College, in 1971 and 1974, respectively.
He is a former incumbent in the Office of Naval Research (ONR)-sponsored Chair in Arctic Marine Science and currently holds an interim Research Professorship at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA. He is Vice President and Chief Scientist of Neptune Sciences, Inc., San Clemente, CA, a research company specializing in Arctic acoustics, primarily for the U.S. Navy interests. He is a Research Physicist with extensive experience in ocean acoustics and signal processing. For the past two decades, he has conducted and led propagation loss and ambient noise experiments in the Arctic and mid-latitude oceans. He has developed Inverse Beamforming (IBF), an innovative signal processing system of algorithms, from theory. IBF has been implemented as a real-time processing system aboard submarines and has shown 15-20 dB performance gain against quiet targets. He has published numerous articles on acoustic signal processing, ambient noise, acoustic propagation, and Arctic science. His interest in surf noise originates with the real-world performance problems it causes for submarines, surface ships and aircraft performing ASW in shallow water. He is a Naval Reserve Captain and former submariner.
