Jorge C. Novarini received the Licentiate and the Sc.D. degree in physics from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1967 and 1972, respectively.
From 1967 to 1975, he was with the Hydrographic Service of the Argentine Navy, where he started the Underwater Sound Group, working on shallow-water propagation for naval applications. From 1976 to 1977 and in 1979, he was an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Physics Department of the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA, where he worked on numerical modeling of surface scattering. From 1980 to 1991, he served as Head of the Underwater Sound Division of the Service for Naval Research of the Argentine Navy, working on shallow-water propagation and sonar prediction. On leave from Argentina, during 1983 and 1984, he was a Visiting Professor of Physics at the Naval Postgraduate School, working for Ocean Acoustics Associated on numerical modeling of surface scattering and Arctic propagation. From 1987 to 1989, he worked for Syntek Computer and Engineering, Inc., as Technical Director working onsite at NORDA on surface and bottom scattering. Concurrently with his work in acoustics, from 1967 to 1986, he also worked part time with the Department of Physics, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he attained in 1983 the rank of Professor of Physics. He has also served as Secretary for Academic Affairs of the University of Buenos Aires. In 1992, he joined Planning Systems, Inc.
Dr. Novarini is a fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and a member of Sigma Xi.
