Student Recruiting

Empowering Student Potential Through Strategic Recruitment

As members of the ARRC, students have the unique opportunity to design, construct, and test electrical components, analyze and implement complex signal processing algorithms, and participate in field campaigns with state-of-the-art weather radar systems, all in the same multi-disciplinary research center.

The ARRC is quickly expanding and conducting research in all radar-related fields, including weather, remote sensing, defense, and automotive, always on the lookout for talented, motivated students who want to make an impact in one or more of these areas.

We are actively recruiting students with an interest in any of the active research areas listed below. We invite interested students to send a CV, along with a list of research interests and potential faculty advisors, to recruitment@arrc.ou.edu.

ARRC Student Profiles

  • Cody Kieu Cody Kieu

    My name is Cody, and I am a graduate student in Electrical and Computer Engineering researching the synchronization of distributed radar systems using software-defined radios. My research focuses on enhancing the accuracy of radar networks for a variety of applications. Looking ahead, I plan to work with a company that specializes in satellite imaging for geoscience applications.

  • Emma Miller Emma Miller

    I am a master's student with the School of Meteorology, working as a Graduate Research Assistant with the ARRC. I'm originally from southeastern Indiana and attended Purdue University for my Bachelor of Science degrees in both Atmospheric Science and Planetary Sciences. My thesis topic focuses on wildland fires and their detection and classification using S-band radars across the country. In my free time I enjoy reading, hiking, and playing a variety of sports.

  • Yoon SL Kim Yoon SL Kim

    I am a Graduate Research Assistant at the ARRC, pursuing a PhD degree in ECE. I obtained my MS degree in ECE also at the OU ARRC, with Dr. David Schvartzman. My thesis was about a fast adaptive digital beamforming leveraging deep learning algorithms for phased array radars. My research interest is mainly in adaptive beamforming to improve the quality and temporal resolution of phased array radar data. Outside of research, I enjoy activities with my two dogs, Bee and Cream.
