Biography:

Dr. Kevin J. McCann is an Research Associate Professor in JCET and is affiliated with the Physics Department at UMBC. Dr. McCann is engaged in research to use LIDAR to measure atmospheric aerosols to help estimate pollution levels. Dr. McCann has worked for over 20 years in the field of theoretical and experimental underwater acoustics at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL). Prior to this overlong stint at APL Kevin had been working on theoretical atomic and molecular collisions and atom/molecule surface interactions at Georgia Tech and the University of Virginia. This work was directed at an understanding of the collision cross sections that are relevant in the interstellar medium and, to some extent, planetary atmospheres. Dr. McCann received all three of his college degrees from Georgia Tech and did his Ph.D.disser¬tation work (1974) with Dr. Ray Flannery there on atomic collision processes. Dr. McCann has published over 50 refereed journal articles in the areas of atomic and molecular collisions and acoustic propagation.
