Bioacoustics, software, and environmental sound

About Dimitri W. Ponirakis

I build tools that turn complex acoustic data into insight, helping researchers, conservation teams, and decision makers understand how sound moves through living environments.

Bridging field science and practical software.

As a senior noise analyst and applications programmer at the Cornell Center for Conservation Bioacoustics, I develop tools and methods for analyzing environmental sound. My work combines acoustic modeling, data processing, visualization, and applied programming to help teams explore large sound datasets with more clarity.

My background includes noise and vibration consulting, environmental impact assessment, and studies involving LNG terminal construction, seismic prospecting, cruise vessels, and sensitive ecosystems such as Glacier Bay National Park.
