Acoustic stealth & platform acoustics
Acoustic stealth design and underwater radiated noise (UWRN) control for submarines and surface platforms: acoustic signature management, sonar signal reflection and interference analysis, airborne noise estimation for crew comfort and operational readiness, and design optimisation for mast vibration and shock resilience.
AI for underwater domain awareness
Deep-learning systems for underwater acoustics: detection, classification and recognition of underwater sound sources; classical signal processing (DEMON, envelope analysis) alongside self-supervised representation learning; physics-grounded synthetic acoustic datasets for model training and validation.
Engineering software for naval design
Custom engineering software tools for naval defence applications, including SSR‑Sim (sonar signal reflection), ABNContour (airborne-noise mapping) and SMS‑Suite (shock-mount simulation).
Supervision & training
Supervision of doctoral and post-graduate research at the defence-technology interface, building on faculty tenures at DIAT and MILIT, Pune; technical training and knowledge transfer in acoustics, vibration, and applied machine learning.
