Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Levine is a Research Physical Scientist and fisheries ecologist with nine years of experience applying acoustic and remote-sensing technologies to study marine ecosystems across large spatial and temporal scales. He designs, deploys, and analyzes ship-based and autonomous acoustic systems—developing Python tools and batch-processing workflows—to monitor fish distribution and spawning behavior for NOAA and academic partners. His work has included long-duration at-sea campaigns, moored echosounder programs for Pollock assessment, and cross-disciplinary projects linking acoustics, optics, and satellite products. With a Ph.D. in Oceanography from the University of Washington and a background spanning Cornell to Woods Hole, he blends rigorous field expertise with device troubleshooting and software-driven data integration. An oft-overlooked strength is his experience translating complex acoustic signals into operational survey methods that inform fisheries management.
