Syed Jehangir has been selected as one of six recipients of the Fall 2023 OU Engineering Dissertation Excellence Award. The $5,000 award, designed to foster excellence among doctoral students, supports scholars in the final stages of their Ph.D. studies. Syed’s dissertation is titled, “Ultrawideband Antenna Solutions for Weather Radar Applications”. Congratulations Syed!
Dr. Jay McDaniel, ARRC member and GCoE Assistant Professor, has been selected as the recipient of the 2023 IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society Outstanding Young Engineer Award.
The award, given annually, recognizes an outstanding young I&M member who has distinguished themselves through achievements which are technical, of exemplary service to the I&M Society, or a combination of both, early in their career. Dr. McDaniel was recognized for outstanding contributions to the advancement of wideband radar cross section measurements in cluttered environments. The award will be presented by I&M President, Juan Manuel Ramirez Cortes, during the 2024 I2MTC conference next spring in Glasgow, Scotland.
Dr. Jay McDaniel is the second U.S. recipient in the past decade.
Congratulations to Dr. Nathan Goodman, GCoE Professor and ARRC Director of Research, on being elevated to the status of Fellow in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) organization.
IEEE Fellow is a distinction reserved for select IEEE members whose extraordinary accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest are deemed fitting of this prestigious grade elevation. The total number selected in any one year does not exceed one-tenth of one percent of the total voting Institute membership.
Dr. Goodman was selected for his contributions to cognitive and distributed radar signal processing.
ECE/ARRC graduate students Rylee Mattingly (pictured on right) and Shane Flandermeyer (pictured on left) placed 1st and 3rd respectively in the Student Paper Competition at the IEEE International Radar Conference held November 6-10 in Sydney, Australia.
"There were 76 entries, so this was a very competitive event", said their advisor, Justin Metcalf (also pictured). "They did a fantastic job defending their work to a panel of judges from the Radar System Panel, including researchers who are literally worlds experts in the exact areas of their papers".
Rylee's paper was titled "Enabling Intra-CPI Frequency Agility Via Backprojection Based Range-Doppler Processing" and Shane's was titled "A Particle Swarm Optimization Approach to Surveillance Resources Management".
Members of the ARRC took to the trails of the Chickasaw National Recreation Area for the annual ARRC hiking trip on Saturday, November 4.
The 2023 Weathernews Scholarship has been awarded to Sam Emmerson, PhD student in the School of Meteorology and the ARRC. Sam’s work was highlighted at the 12th Annual Workshop on Weathernews and OU Collaboration held November 1, 2023 at the Radar Innovations Lab.
Pictured with Sam are Michihiro Teshiba from Weathernews, ARRC Executive Director Bob Palmer, and Petra Klein, Executive Associate Dean, College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences.
The ARRC put on a festive light display during OU's Homecoming parade Friday night. Even the radar trucks got in on the action.
Dr. Jorge Salazar (top row left) has been selected as the Technical Coordinator for the 2024 IEEE Antenna Measurement Techniques Association (AMTA) meeting and symposium. In addition, he has also been elected to the 2024 AMTA Board of Directors. “It's an honor to join forces with such a dedicated community. With AMTA's rich history of fostering advancements in electromagnetic measurement technologies alongside IEEE, I'm looking forward to contributing to this legacy and the upcoming AMTA 2024 symposium”, Dr. Salazar said.
Congratulations to ARRC/ECE graduate student, Alexis Oblitas, who was awarded third place for his paper “Enhancing On-Chip Antenna mmWave Calibration: A Hybrid Multi-Axis Scanner Enabling Near-Field and Far-Field Measurements for Over-the-Air Calibration”at the IEEE Antenna Measurement Techniques Association (AMTA) Symposium held in Seattle. WA. Oct. 8-13. Alexix is advised by Dr. Jorge Salazar.
