Gabriel Venegas
Dr. Gabriel R. Venegas is a Research Assistant Professor in the Center for Acoustics Research and Education and Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping. He conducts research in the fields of underwater acoustics, acoustical oceanography, and plant and animal bioacoustics. Specific areas of interest include sediment acoustics in hydrodynamically and biologically dynamic environments, understanding the effect organic carbon sequestration has on sediment geoacoustic properties, and the acoustic scattering from underwater flora and fauna.
Dr. Venegas received his B.S. degree magna cum laude in Mechanical Engineering from Boston University, and his Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on Physical Acoustics from The University of Texas at Austin. He is a member of the Acoustical Society of America, the Coastal Estuarine Research Federation, and the American Geophysical Union.
