W. Kenneth Stewart (M'85) received the A.A.S. degree in marine technology from Cape Fear Technical Institute in 1972, the B.S. degree in ocean engineering from Florida Atlantic University in 1982, and the Ph.D. degree in oceanographic engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program in 1988.He has been going to sea on oceanographic research vessels for more than 20 years, has developed acoustic sensors and remotely operated vehicles for 6000-m depths, and has made several deep dives in manned submersibles, including a 4000-m excursion to the Titanic in 1986. Since 1988 he has been a member of the scientific staff at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and is now an Associate Scientist at the Deep Submergence Laboratory. His research interests include underwater robotics, autonomous vehicles and smart ROV's, multisensor modeling, real-time acoustic and optical imaging, and precision underwater surveying.
Dr. Stewart is a member of the Acoustical Society of America, the IEEE Computer Society, the Marine Technology Society, the National Computer Graphics Association, the Oceanography Society, and Sigma Xi.
