William Turri

Mr. Turri oversees the activities of more than 70 engineers and researchers in UDRI’s Applied Sensing Division who perform R&D for high-performing sensor and information systems. Types of sensor systems include visible and infrared spectra electro-optic cameras, event-based cameras and synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The division also develops integrated software solutions for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms, leveraging the latest Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) techniques to make sense of data.
