Research Fellow
Current research is influenced by the need to improve calibration algorithms of microwave radiometers. The focus of the research is to perform an analysis of non-stationary data using noise assisted data analysis. I will continue this work under the NASA Harriett G. Jenkins Pre-doctoral Fellowship. The purpose of this research is to establish a method for comparative analysis of radiometer designs.
