Applied Acoustic Scientist at Andrenam
Fremont, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEdward Richards is an applied acoustic scientist with 11 years of experience translating sensor data into actionable signal-processing systems, from decade-long ocean acoustics research to drone-mounted microphone arrays for aircraft detection. He designs end-to-end pipelines—modeling acoustic propagation, building beamforming and detection frameworks, and accelerating preprocessing into PyTorch for real-time and training-scale performance gains. His work spans field experiments, simulation-informed inverse modeling, and characterizing platform self-noise and environmental coupling, giving him a practical fluency in both hardware selection and software optimization. Based in Fremont, CA, he has moved discoveries from sea-surface Doppler predictions to airborne acoustic cameras, blending academic rigor from a PhD in oceanography with startup-speed product engineering. An underappreciated strength is his habit of integrating physics-based decomposition into data pipelines, which yields interpretable features that improve detection robustness across noisy, dynamic environments.
