Dr. Vince Premus

President, ThayerMahan, Ocean Acoustical Services and Instrumentation Systems (OASIS)

An experienced leader in acoustics and array processing.

Bio

Vince has over 25 years’ experience in the research and development of technology and algorithms for underwater acoustic signal and array processing.
 
Prior to joining ThayerMahan, Vince served as Vice President and Principal Scientist at OASIS where he led the development, integration, and at-sea testing of real-time, autonomous surveillance systems. Clients under his purview included multiple U.S. Navy programs, most notably the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Persistent Littoral Undersea Surveillance Innovative Naval Prototype (PLUS-INP) program. During his 15 years at OASIS, Vince was also the Principal Investigator on a number of ONR Code 321-US Discovery & Invention and NAVSEA SBIR Phase I and II initiatives that sought to develop an understanding of waveguide propagation physics in signal processing design.
 
Prior to OASIS, Vince was a member of the Technical Staff at MIT Lincoln Laboratory where he contributed to the research and development of adaptive signal processing for submarine towed arrays. He holds multiple patents and has authored journal publications related to underwater acoustics and digital signal processing technology for passive acoustic surveillance systems.
 
Vince lives with his wife, Denene, and two children, McKenna and Duncan, in Pepperell, MA.
