Science & Engineering

From his graduate work in applied ocean physics, to his current work in geophysical sensing of the subsurface, Dr. McKenna has spent years cultivating and honing his science and engineering expertise. For example, Dr. McKenna developed a fully analytical model for a ground-based electromagnetic induction sensor system designed to probe the Earth’s subsurface for man-made voids, tunnels, and objects of interest. His model has helped understand sensor behavior, facilitated test and survey planning, and served as the basis for detection algorithm development. This work, and subsequent work, was published in several journal articles (below).
