Brian G. Ferguson is the Principal Sci- entist (Acoustic Systems), Department of Defence, Sydney, NSW, Australia. He is a fellow of the Acoustical Society of Ameri- ca, a fellow of the Institution of Engineers Australia, and a chartered professional en- gineer. In 2015, he was awarded the Acous-
tical Society of America Silver Medal for Signal Processing in Acoustics. In 2016, he received the Defence Minister’s Award for Achievement in Defence Science, which is the Australian Department of Defence’s highest honor for a defense scientist. More recently, he received the David Robinson Special Award in 2017 from Engineers Australia (College of Information, Telecommunications and Electronics Engineering).
