Current interests

Graham Beamiss is working in the Underwater Acoustics field. He is primarily involved in work that is conducted at simulated ocean conditions; this can be characterising acoustic devices, or determining the acoustic properties of viscoelastic materials. Graham is also responsible for the maintaining and operating the Acoustic Pressure Vessel Facility (APV). His skills also cross over to other areas of Underwater Acoustics.

Biography

Graham joined NPL as an engineering apprentice. Following successful completion of his apprenticeship, he worked for several years in the Engineering Services department manufacturing scientific equipment and instrumentation. He then moved to the Underwater Acoustics group to run the APV facility.
