Ben Koenig receives ASNE Tidewater Section Admiral David Donohue Scholarship for 2021

Congratulations to Ben for receiving the ASNE Tidewater Section Admiral David Donohue Scholarship for 2021! This award is given by the American Society of Naval Engineers each year since 1979, and is given “in order to promote the profession of naval engineering and to encourage college students to enter the field. Since the inception of the Scholarship Program, ASNE has since awarded hundreds of scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students interested in pursuing an education and career in naval engineering.” Congratulations once again to Ben!

MSEAS to present in the US Launch Meeting of the United Nations Ocean Decade

MSEAS was selected as part of the team of Kanna Rajan for one of the 8 plenary presentations (out of 90) of the US Launch Meeting of the United Nations Ocean Decade that will take place on February 3-4, 2021, as well as for e-poster presentations as part of a few other teams.
The United Nations has proclaimed a Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) to support efforts to reverse the cycle of decline in ocean health and gather ocean stakeholders worldwide behind a common framework that will ensure ocean science can fully support countries in creating improved conditions for sustainable development of the Ocean. This event, hosted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, is the US launch of the UN Decade and it includes close to 90 e-posters of “ocean shots”, i.e. innovative propositions to the Decade from US scientists.
For more details about the UN Ocean Decade please visit: https://www.oceandecade.org/

MSEAS is completing a real-time uncertainty forecasting exercise for a Global Positioning System (GPS) for underwater assets

The POSYDON Sea Exercise 2017 occurs in the Middle Atlantic – New York Bight Region for the first two weeks of February 2017. In collaboration with the POINT team, our objectives are to utilize the MIT MSEAS system to: (i) forecast the probability of high-resolution ocean fields using our ESSE methodology; (ii) transfer the corresponding distribution of the sound speed field to three-dimensional underwater sound propagation uncertainties; (iii) collect sufficient data to evaluate the accuracy of the Bayesian tomographic inversion and of its posterior estimates of range between transducers and sound velocity profiles (SVPs). Please visit the POSYDON-POINT webpage for more information.

Real Time Sea Exercise Conducted in Buzzards Bay

Real-time exercises were completed in the Buzzards Bay to test at sea time-optimal autonomy methods and software developed by MSEAS for AUVs. The exercises were completed in collaboration with colleagues from WHOI (Glen Gawarkiewicz and Ben Allen) and Lincoln Lab (Joe Edwards and Kristen Railey). More details and real time modeling outputs are available here.

MSEAS group awarded seed funding for high performance computing

The Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center (MGHPCC) has awarded $600,000 in seed grants to seven multi-university teams on issues ranging from the ecosystem off the New England coast to medical imaging to the speed of computing itself. The MGHPCC is designed to promote research collaboration among the participating universities (Boston University, Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northeastern University and the University of Massachusetts) through high-performance computing, a pillar of all scientific inquiry today. The seed grant program is intended to accelerate the MGHPCC’s mission of computational collaboration.

From the MGHPCC web site: “To complement the forthcoming deployment of a state-of-the-art underwater observation platform, part of the NSF-sponsored Ocean Observatories initiative, John Marshall (MIT), Pierre Lermusiaux (MIT), Amala Mahadevan (WHOI) and Amit Tandon (UMass Dartmouth) will create models to provide insights into the turbulent mixing that regulates nutrient cycle and ocean ecosystem dynamics off the New England coast.”
