Biography
Dong Li has his expertise in acoustic data processing and submarine sediment classification. He is familiar with basic knowledge and principle of acoustic seabed detection, skillful in operating multibeam equipment and post-processing software, and able to explore data mining to solve some scientific issues. He devised a technical approach to characterize, classify, and map shallow coastal areas with artificial reefs using an multibeam echosounder. The automated classification method is confirmed to process bathymetric and backscatter data from multibeam echosounder and transform the variables into simple, easily visualized maps.
