Presentation title: “Recent Research on Radar Ocean Remote Sensing at Memorial University”
Presenter: Dr. Weimin Huang
Time: 09:30-11:00 am, June 12, 2018
Location: Conference Room 315 of the Underwater Acoustic Engineering Building
Short Bio of the presenter:
Dr. Weimin Huang received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in radio physics (electromagnetic wave propagation and antenna) from the School of Electronic Information at Wuhan University, Wuhan, China, in 1995, 1997, and 2001, respectively, and the M.Eng. Degree from the Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN), St. Johns, NF, Canada, in 2004. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow in engineering electromagnetics with MUN from 2004 to 2007. In 2010, he joined the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, MUN, as an Assistant Professor after working as a Design Engineer with Rutter Technologies.
His past and present research involves the mapping of oceanic surface parameters via high frequency ground wave radar and microwave nautical radar and, more recently, sea surface oil-spill detection and wind field measurement using GNSS-R. He has supervised/co-supervised 1 post-doctoral fellow, 10 PhD and 17 Master students and has published more than 180 papers. He is a senior member of IEEE. Dr. Huang served as a Technical Program Co-Chair of the IEEE Newfoundland Electrical and Computer Engineering Conference in 2012 and 2013. He serves as a regular reviewer for over 30 international journals and a reviewer for many IEEE international conferences, such as Radar Con, ICC, GLOBECOM, IGARSS, and Oceans. He is an Associate Editor of the IEEE ACCESS and an Editorial Board Member of Remote Sensing. He received the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Discovery Accelerator Supplement Award in 2017, the PEGNL Teaching Award in 2018, and the Dean’s Award for Teaching Excellence in 2016.
Abstract of the presentation:
In this presentation, the research on radar ocean remote sensing at Memorial University will be introduced. It includes the most recent work associated with both high frequency (HF) and X-band marine radars. For HF radar, the radar cross section ocean surface model for a radar on a floating platform will be introduced.
