Richard Raspet is a professor emeritus
in physics and astronomy and a prin- ciple scientist at the National Center for Physical Acoustics, University, Mississippi. He was a physicist at the US Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory, Champaign,
Illinois, from 1978 to 1987 before joining the faculty at the University of Mississippi. His research has included theoreti- cal and experimental investigations of atmospheric sound propagation, effects of turbulence and ground impedance on explosions and sonic booms, sound interaction with porous media, inert gas-condensing vapor thermoacous- tics and the theory and reduction of wind noise. Current research topics are optimization of MEMS microphones and wind noise coupling into the ground.
