My research aims to advance cost-effective, low-resource radar remote sensing technologies and sensor networks that can monitor extreme environments, such as ice sheets, ice shelves, and icy moons. The core of my research agenda focuses on developing passive radar systems and signal processing techniques that can recycle a diversity of electromagnetic signals (natural, radio-astronomical, and anthropogenic) for terrestrial, planetary, and space observations. One evolving area of my research applies this passive radar remote sensing technique to problems in understanding both Jovian and Solar radio bursts as signals of opportunity as well as their impact on space-based systems. The second emerging area of my research builds on passive radars that use ambient radio emissions for terrestrial and planetary remote sensing by modeling detection technologies for space-based mission concepts.
