Biography
Dr. Jorge L. Salazar-Cerreno received his Ph.D. in ECE from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, in 2012. His doctoral research was focused on the development of low-cost dual-polarized, phased array antenna arrays for the Engineering Research Center for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA). His dissertation advisors were Professors David Pozar and David McLaughlin. After graduation, Dr. Salazar was awarded a prestigious National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Advanced Study Program postdoctoral fellowship. At NCAR, Dr. Salazar worked at the Earth Observing Laboratory (EOL) division developing an emerging airborne technology for two-dimensional, electronically scanned, dual-pol phased array radars for use in atmospheric research. This development is a critical tool for studying weather and related hazards, especially for retrieving dynamic and microphysical characteristics of clouds and precipitation over rugged terrain or the open ocean, where other radar systems can have major limitations.
