Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Smith is an underwater acoustician and software engineer with 10 years of experience translating oceanographic research into practical tools and commercial solutions for shallow-water mapping. Currently Technical Sales Manager for Americas at Kongsberg Discovery, he pairs deep technical expertise in multibeam echosounder calibration, radiated sound-field measurement, and backscatter processing with hands-on software development in Python, Matlab, and Jupyter notebooks. His work at the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping produced open-source processing toolkits and one of the first directly measured far-field radiation patterns for deep-water multibeam systems, informing both system performance and environmental impact assessments. Comfortable leading multi-organization experiments and field campaigns, he brings a rare blend of fieldcraft, signal-processing rigor, and product-minded communication between researchers, manufacturers, and end users.
