ESL recently welcomed Post Doctoral Scholar Kazem Bakian-Dogaheh to the lab!

His research focuses on the emerging field of “radar ecology,” which explores the intersections of radar remote sensing science and technology, ecosystem ecology and computational modeling. The work builds on integrating science and engineering to study current trends and changes in northern high latitudes and Arctic regions.

Congratulations to ESL Professor Fernando Teixeira on leading a team that received a Catalyst Grant through the President’s Research Excellence program! Catalyst grants are awarded to teams pursuing high-impact research towards an identified national-leadership level or highly strategically significant proposal target.

The team, which includes Balasubramaniam Shanker, is working with plasma-based devices that are critical components in defense and space applications. This effort will develop transformative computational tools and create new model-predictive real-time control for plasma systems and devices in those applications.

Program provides seed support to catalyze and accelerate multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary or convergent research
