Andy Ganse is a physicist at the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL-UW) at the University of Washington in Seattle. His research specialty is solving and understanding inverse problems to learn about geophysical phenomena. His work mainly focuses on using sound as a remote sensing tool to study the ocean and ocean floor, but he also has worked on the propagation and scattering of both acoustic and electromagnetic waves, statistical analyses of ocean and seafloor measurements, and gravitational effects of spacecraft planetary flybys. His PhD was in theoretical and computational concerns in the geophysical inversion of physical properties of the seafloor from acoustic receptions in the ocean water column. He has been on two extended (>1mo) ocean acoustic experiment cruises.
