Joseph C. Park, Robert M. Kennedy; Remote sensing of ocean sound speed profiles by a perceptron neural network, IEEE J. Oceanic Eng., vol. 21, pp. 216 - 224, April 1996.
Joseph C. Park (M'96) received the B.S. degree in ocean engineering in 1985, the M.S. degree in ocean engineering in 1989, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering in 1994 from Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL.
He spent a year as a Design Engineer on hydraulic systems of the Navy Deep Dive System at Mare Island Naval Shipyard, Vallejo, CA, in 1985, followed by two years as a Systems Analyst and Electrical Engineer with Applied Measurement Systems, Inc., Hollywood, FL, primarily working on towed array evaluations, underwater acoustic tracking, and electronic communication systems. He then worked as a Research Engineer at the Center for Acoustics and Vibrations at Florida Atlantic University, developing digital signal processing tools for acoustic analysis. In 1989 he joined the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center where he currently works in the Range Analysis Branch as an Electrical Engineer and Systems Analyst. His research interests include electromagnetics of composite materials, application of neural networks to nonlinear estimation, incorporation of information theory to the training of neural networks, and oceanography.
Dr. Park is registered Professional Engineer in the state of Florida and a member of the Acoustical Society of America.
