Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRachel Kahn is a Senior Signal Processing Engineer with nine years of experience blending acoustic physics, numerical modeling, and DSP to solve challenging sensing problems. Currently at CHAOS Industries she focuses on passive radar signal processing, building on a research-intensive background from the MIT-WHOI Joint Program where she modeled sound scattering from jellyfish and microbubbles and translated experiments into publishable algorithms. Her work spans interdisciplinary toolsets—unsupervised ML, computer vision, holographic imaging, and open-source data tooling—reflecting a knack for moving between theory and production code. She has a proven record securing competitive fellowships, presenting at technical conferences, and converting complex oceanographic phenomena into practical signal-processing solutions. Based in Los Angeles, Rachel combines deep academic rigor from a PhD-level training with pragmatic software engineering experience, often surfacing elegant algorithmic approaches that others overlook.
