ARRC/OTD members visited the Korean Meteorological Administration (KMA) in Seoul recently to exchange ideas on the advancements in weather radar technology and how the KMA and OU can cooperate in the future. Attendees included ARRC members Robert Palmer, Tian-You Yu, Boonleng Cheong, and Jim Bratton from the Office of Technology Development.
Congratulations to ARRC/ECE Ph.D. student Rodrigo Lebron Garcia on winning 1st place in the poster contest at the recently held Engineering Graduate Student Community, Gallogly College of Engineering Fair 2016. Rodrigo's poster, “A Novel Near-Field Robotic Scanner for Surface, RF and Thermal Characterization of Millimeter-Wave Active Phased Array Antenna,” reflects his research in active phased array antenna calibration. Rodrigo works under the supervision of Dr. Jorge L. Salazar-Cerreno.
ARRC members Tian-You Yu, Boonleng Cheong, Robert Palmer, and Matt McCord, along with OU’s Office of Technology Development Executive Director Jim Bratton, recently visited Pukyong National University in Busan, South Korea for the establishment of collaborative research and exchange.
ARRC/ECE professor Dr. Robert Palmer has been selected as a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Recognizing the achievements of its members is an important part of the mission of IEEE. The distinction of Fellow is an honor conferred by the IEEE Board of Directors upon a person with an extraordinary record of accomplishments in any IEEE field of interest. Each year, following a rigorous evaluation procedure, the IEEE Fellow Committee recommends a select group of recipients for elevation to IEEE Fellow. Less than 0.1% of voting members are selected annually for this member grade elevation. Dr. Palmer’s specific citation was “for contributions to atmospheric and meteorological radar science”. Congratulations!
