Dr. Grove joined RatnerPrestia after working as a researcher in the university and corporate sectors. She is a scientific advisor and is presently working toward her patent agent registration. Dr. Grove brings an in-depth and broad understanding of physics, mathematics, electrical engineering and acoustics to her patent practice. Her diversified research and teaching experience has provided her with knowledge in transducer design, computational acoustics, correlation/spectral analysis methods, acoustic system measurement and calibration, room acoustics, underwater acoustics, musical instrument acoustics, advanced signal processing, speech recognition, noise/vibration, sensor fusion and computer architecture. Since joining RatnerPrestia, Dr. Grove has gained additional experience in optics, semiconductors and telecommunications. Dr. Grove graduated from The Pennsylvania State University with a Ph.D. in Acoustics. While at Penn State, she was a research associate with the Applied Research Laboratory. Her thesis related to wavelet transform detection algorithms for shallow water acoustics. Dr. Grove also holds a bachelor's degree in Physics from The State University of New York College at Fredonia and a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from the State University of New York at Buffalo. After obtaining her Ph.D., Dr. Grove served as a research professor at The Center for Advanced Information Processing at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. There she directed research into human computer interface design, multimedia sensor fusion, and acoustic signal processing algorithms involving microphone arrays such as acoustic source location and sound capture used for hands-free communication and speech recognition. She also taught electrical engineering courses and advised students from undergraduates through Ph.D. candidates. Dr. Grove successfully developed grants and contracts with government and private industry sources for collaborative research and development, such as The National Science Foundation. Dr. Grove has also served as a research scientist at a biomedical device company. She was responsible for acoustic sensor testing, measurement apparatus design, noise detection and reduction algorithms, psychoacoustic measures development and National Institute of Health grant proposals. She is also familiar with FDA 510(k) product development and FDA quality systems regulations. Dr. Grove is an active member of The Acoustical Society of America and IEEE and its Signal Processing Society. She is a member of RatnerPrestia's Electric / Computer / Business Method Group. |
