Peter N. Mikhalevsky received the B.A. and M.S. degrees jointly from Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, in 1972 and the Ph.D. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, in 1979.

In 1972, he was commissioned an officer in the U.S. Navy and served on active duty for 12 years. His specialty was Anti-Submarine Warfare and he was instrumental in the introduction of tactical towed arrays in the Navy in the mid-1970's. After the Navy in 1983, he was an Associate Professor in the Department of Ocean Engineering at MIT, teaching acoustics and array processing. He joined SAIC in 1985 and is a Corporate Vice President and Manager of the Ocean Sciences Division in McLean, VA. His work has focused on matched field processing and array processing in the ocean. He is the principal investigator of the Arctic Climate Observations using Underwater Sound (ACOUS) program which is a joint U.S./Russian Gore-Chernomyrdin project using acoustic thermometry to study climate change in the Arctic.

Dr. Mikhalevsky is a fellow of the Acoustical Society of America. For his research in underwater acoustics, he was the recipient of the Biennial Award (now the R. Bruce Lindsay Award) of the Acoustical Society of America, the A. B. Wood Medal and Prize from the Institute of Acoustics, U.K., and the Decibel Award from the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, New London, CT.
