    This role aims to acquire post-graduate research experience in phased array radar by developing state-of-the-art signal processing algorithms. Research is directed by engineers and scientists in the Airborne Phased Array Program Office (APO) and Earth Observing Laboratory. It includes pre-defined research objectives and deliverables and laboratory and field measurements participation to gain broader experience with phased array radar performance. 

    For reference, the Airborne Phased Array Radar (APAR) is a newly NSF-funded instrument development program that provides advanced airborne radar to the science community. The multi-year implementation plan is to build and install the radar on the NSF/NCAR C-130 aircraft and conduct data gathering and analysis during ground and flight tests. Once operational, the science community will use it to study high-impact weather events like hurricanes, winter storms, and supercells.

    Key Responsibilities:

    • Investigate super-resolution techniques for improving intrinsic angular resolution.

    • Collaborate with engineers and scientists on Artificial Intelligence and machine learning techniques for radar signal processing.

    • Develop a conceptual framework for future engineering enhancements of the APAR.

    • Conduct research to minimize surface clutter by tapering the active electronic scanning array (AESA) aperture.

    • Prepare results for publication in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at meetings and conferences. Prepare and deliver summary reports or contribute toward project progress reports as needed.

    Education & Experience REQUIRED:

    • Ph.D. within the last five years in electrical engineering, atmospheric science, physics, mathematics, or a related area.
