Thank you for stopping by my website.

My name is Kai, and I am an Associate Professor at the Naval Postgraduate School.

I am interested in:
– using transiting surface ships as sources of opportunity for the purpose of array and environmental parameter characterization
– acoustic signal and array processing in the presence of environmental noise and uncertainty

In my free time, I enjoy to backpack and to sail.

Quote of the moment (Press F5 to refresh):

On three accounts “searching and practice” are foolish and misleading,
and are only the clever mind postponing Freedom.

The first is that it creates a searcher or subject.
This reinforces the concept of an individual sufferer
that is separate from Freedom.

The second is the search.
Searching is a distraction which causes postponement
and endless needless suffering.
Searching promotes religions, traditions,
and paths to be adhered to,
which serve only to trap you deeper in illusion.
The Truth is only Here and Now,
but the search says it is tomorrow.

The third account is that search creates an object to be found,
and this can be the subtlest and most misleading trap.
As you start a search, you conceptualize
what it is that you are searching for.
The nature of illusion is whatever you think –
the goal is that you will attain it.
There is no doubt about this: as you think so it becomes.
So because of your search you will create and then attain
that which you think you are searching for!
Any heaven or high spiritual state you long to attain
you will attain after you conceptualized and created it.
Then you will rest satisfied in this trap.

The Truth is beyond thought and concept.
This Truth is what you are, and only the Truth Is.
So stop your search – simply be Quiet.
