Gary E. J. Bold

Gary E.J. Bold, a New Zealand physicist and educator, the introduction of Bold's Equation has become extremely beneficiary to thousands of New Zealand physics graduates over decades.

Bold is an Honorary Associate Professor in physics at the University of Auckland, PhD (Auckland), MASA, LMIEEE, and MNZIP. He is the primary figure in DSP physics in New Zealand. He has literally written every textbook in Electrical and Electronics physics at Auckland University. He wrote "Mathematical theory can be learned from books, Physical insight cannot. It comes from listening to those who have it, raving on a blackboard"."

Current research

Environmental underwater acoustics: Collaborator in the global ATOC project.
Signal processing: Application of m sequence modulation, stepped chirps, adaptive filters, to oceanic acoustic transfer function determination.
Electronics: The use of PIC and other microprocessors for data recording and experiment control.
