Newell O. Booth received the B. A. degree in physics from the University of California at Berkeley in 1962 and the Ph. D. degree in plasma physics from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1970.
He has been a Research Physicist at the Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center, San Diego, CA, and its predecessor laboratories since 1963, specializing in the exploratory development of advanced antisubmarine warfare systems. His fields of expertise include signal processing, underwater acoustics, ocean engineering, acoustic source and receive array design, performance prediction, and matched-field beamforming. On assignment at the Office of Naval Research (ONR) between 1987 and 1990, he organized and managed the High Gain Initiative, the first major research program in matched-field processing. He has since managed several matched-field processing projects under the sponsorship of the ONR and DARPA. He is currently associated with the SPAWAR Systems Center as a retired emeritus scientist.
Dr. Booth received several awards for his outstanding contributions to the field of high-resolution matched-field processing, including the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society's 1998 Distinguished Technical Achievement Award and the 1999 SPAWAR Systems Center's Lauritzen-Bennett Award.
