Thomas H. Neighbors III, PhD was a Chief Scientist at Leidos
Corporation before retiring. Before Leidos split from SAIC he was a
Vice President/Chief Scientist at SAIC and before that he was
president of Falcon Associates. His publications span the spectrum
from acousto-optics to nonlinear underwater acoustics to theory and
scale model experiments on anomalous sea surface reverberation.
For over a decade Dr. Neighbors was an Adjunct Physics Professor at
Georgetown University and twice was a visiting professor at the
Technical University of Denmark. He has given keynote papers and
invited lectures at conferences on Sea Surface Sound, Underwater
Acoustics, and Hydroacoustics. In the past he participated on
scientific advisory panels and committees such as the International
Conferences on Underwater Acoustic Measurements: Technology &
Results and the Waterside Security Conferences. Dr. David Bradley
is Senior Scientist and Professor of Acoustics at the Applied
Research Laboratory, The Pennsylvania State University, State
College, PA, USA. He received a Bachelor’s Degree in physics from
Michigan Technological University in 1960, a Master’s Degree in
Physics from Michigan State University in 1963, and a Doctorate in
Mechanical Engineering from the Catholic University of America in
1970. His research focuses on underwater acoustic propagation,
scattering from complex ocean boundaries and ambient noise in the
sea. Dr. Bradley has served as director of the NATO Underwater
Research Center, La Spezia, Italy; superintendent of the Acoustics
Division of the Naval Research Laboratory; and mine warfare
technical adviser to the Chief of Naval Operations. Dr. Bradley's
seminal contributions to the field of acoustics have been
recognized with many awards and leadership positions within the
ASA. They include the Meritorious Civilian Service Award, 1982; and
Superior Civilian Service Award, in 1993 from the Department of the
Navy. In the ASA he served as chair of the Underwater Acoustics
Technical Committee, 1988-1991; on the Executive Council 1991 to
1992; as associate editor 1997-2001, and as chair, Medals and
Awards Committee, 2003-2010. He was President of the Acoustical
Society of America (ASA), 2012-2013.
