Waves, Layers, Lessons: Reflections on Dr. William Kuperman – A Living Embodiment of Mentorship Done Right

A reflection on Dr. William A. Kuperman – one of the founding fathers of Computational Ocean Acoustics, scientist, advisor, boss, mentor, teacher, and one of the greatest influences in my life and in the lives of many others.

Stories of his mentorship, precision, humor, and humanity – written in gratitude for Bill, who embodied mentorship done right.

This page will remain a living space dedicated to him – a place for ongoing reflections and memories. I’ll continue this tribute – personal and professional – woven together over time.
