SCIENTIFIC GRANTS & CONTRACTS

- Tian-You Yu, Jorge Salazar-Cerreno, Caleb Fulton, Robert Palmer Howard Bluestein, Michael Biggerstaff,
Boon Leng Cheong, Mark Yeary and Xuguang Wang was recently awarded a $3.04M MRI grant by the
National Science Foundation to design, build, and operate a mobile C-band Polarimetric Atmospheric
Imaging Radar (PAIR). This system will be based on the lessons learned from the current AIR, and will add
polarimetric capabilities, real-time beamforming, electronic steering, digital control, and live displays. This
new radar will provide polarimetric volumetric update rates of 5-10 seconds on tornadoes, supercells, and
hurricanes, leading to new understanding of these phenomena on incredible time scales.

Advanced Radar Research Center (ARRC) at University of Oklahoma Norman OK, 08/14 – present
Research Scientist and Adjunct Assistant Professor
Research interest: Ground and airborne radar systems, radar system front-end design and integration, low-cost,
dual-polarized and 2D active planar phased array antennas, high dense brick and tile T/R modules,
electromagnetic theory, antenna element and array design, RF material characterization and multilayer radome  
modeling, characterization, calibration and measurements of passive and active array antennas in far-field, and
near-field range systems.

National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder CO, 07/12 – 07/14

ASP Postdoctoral Fellow
Leader of research team to develop a C-band and two-dimensional and dual-polarized active electronically
scanned airborne phased radar system.
- Conducted a trade-off and cost-performance analysis to define the architecture of the two-dimensional and dual-
polarized active airborne phased-array radar system to be implemented in an NCAR C-130 aircraft.
- Developed a novel dual-polarized antenna radiating element for an airborne phased-array radar for atmospheric
research.
- Implemented and tested an 8x8 passive dual-polarized array antenna. Conducted and managed the development
of a brick C-band and high-power (4W) and dual-pol TR module.
- Conducted and managed the development of a dual-polarized active phased array antenna prototype of 8x8
elements.
- Designed and implemented a novel automated low-cost near-field RF scanner to characterize and test a dual-
polarized active phased array antenna prototype.

University of Massachusetts, Amherst MA 01/07-06/12

Research Assistant and Phased-Array Antenna Designer
Performed research aimed at determining the performance of dual-polarized phased-array antenna for the dense
weather radar network for CASA ERC. Conducted a cost-performance model study to determine the e-scan array
antennas for CASA dense weather radar networks.
- Proposed a new synthesis technique to develop a dual-polarized series-fed linear aperture coupled patch antenna
array. Two successful planar array prototypes of 32x16 elements were designed, fabricated, and tested using the
proposed synthesis technique.
- Proposed a low-cost (<$87K) antenna architecture called phase-tilt for the CASA weather radar network and
conducted the front-end design of the phase-tilt solid-state radar. Main contribution to CASA was developing a
low-cost dual-polarized active phased-array prototype antenna (64x32 elements). Research addressed the
feasibility of low-cost, dual-polarized, X-band phased-array antennas for use in dense radar networks for

partnership.
- Proposed a drop size distribution (DSD) based model for evaluation of the performance of wet radomes for
dual-polarized radars. The model can be used for any radome shape and skin radome surface (including super
hydrophobic materials).

University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA, Graduate Research Assistant 01/04-11/06
