Andone C. Lavery

Andone C. Lavery (M'04) received the B.A. degree in mathematics from Cambridge University, Cambridge, U.K., in 1991 and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA, in 1995 and 1999, respectively. She was a Postdoctoral Scholar from 1999 to 2001 with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), Woods Hole, MA, USA, and a U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR) Ocean Acoustics Postdoctoral Fellow from 2001 to 2002, also at WHOI. Since 2002, she has been a Member of the Scientific Staff, Department of Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering, WHOI. Her research interests include high-frequency acoustic scattering and propagation in discrete and random media, developing physics-based acoustic scattering models for marine organisms and small-scale fluid processes, performing laboratory measurements for validating scattering models, developing instruments, and signal processing methods for ocean measurements of scattering from biological and physical processes. Dr. Lavery is a member of the Acoustical Society of America, the Oceanography Society, and the American Physical Society. She is currently an Associate Editor for the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America Express Letters.
