IEEE R2 Mini-Sync RD Pass Down SIGHT: Ms. Juliana Pichardo, WIE: Celia Shahnaz YP: Saaveethya Sivakumar Life Members: Rajendra Asthana Agenda: WIE / YP / Life Members Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/389639

The Careers in Technology (CIT) virtual career panel consists of a group of industry leaders and experts who interact directly with the participants in a moderated Q&A session. In this way, participants gain insight into what the technology community considers valuable (skills, certifications, experience, etc.) so that they can better prepare for a career change or entry into a technology-related career. The participants of the Summer 2024 virtual panel are Marie Perry, Paul Carney and Radhika Kanubaddhi - you can find their bios below. Note: While the Careers in Tech Organizing Committee is exploring offering PDH for virtual sessions going forward, that effort is still in progress. As a result, we will be unable to offer PDH for this session, but expect to be able to do so in the near future.

Description: Ultra Wide Band Surveillance Radar is an emerging technology for detecting and characterizing targets and cultural features for military and geosciences applications. It is essential to have fine range and cross-range resolution to characterize objects near and under severe clutter. This Lecture is divided into five parts. • The Early History of Battlefield Surveillance Radar: Battlefield surveillance from manned and unmanned aircraft, along with early experiments in fixed and moving target detection and foliage penetration are covered. • UWB Phased Array Antenna: Wideband waveforms place a significant demand on the ESA design to maintain gain and sidelobe characteristics. Design of ESA systems with time delay steering and digital beamforming will be illustrated. • UWB Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR): A brief description of key UWB surveillance SAR systems will be provided, along with illustrations of the SAR image and fixed object detection capability. • UWB Ground Moving Target Indication: Space time adaptive processing (STAP) has been used for over 20 years for detecting and tracking moving targets in clutter. This section will discuss an approach for increasing the bandwidth and maintaining geolocation accuracy with Along Track Interferometry. • New research in Multi-mode Ultra-Wideband Radar: The last section of the lecture will illustrate new technologies that have promise for future multimode operation: simultaneous SAR and GMTI in a multichannel radar. Speaker(s): Dr. Mark E. Davis, Agenda: Technical Talk: 11:30 – 13:00 Wright Brothers Institute (Tec^Edge), 5000 Springfield Street, Dayton, Ohio, United States, 45431

Technical talk by Georg Schmidt, who did his physics diploma and PhD at RWTH Aachen working on selective CVD growth of Si/SiGe nanostructures. After his PhD he joined Laurens Molenkamp in Aachen as a PostDoc and started the group of spintronics working on spin injection into III/V semiconductors. Together with Laurens Molenkamp he moved to Würzburg in 1999 where he continued this research, extending the effort to II/VI semiconductors and adding the development of high resolution lithography techniques and spin dynamics in metallic systems. In 2004 he did his habilitation on spin injection and spin transport in semiconductors. Among other things he took part in the realization of the first electrical spin injection into a semiconductor light emitting diode and he identified the so-called conductance mismatch as a fundamental obstacle for spin injection into semiconductors from metallic ferromagnets. For this work he received the Bernhard-Hess Dozentur from Regensburg University (2002) and the Rudolph-Kaiser Preis (2005). In 2009 he became full professor for nanostructured materials at Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg. Recently his group developed a process for room temperature deposition of Yttrium iron garnet that allows to fabricate freestanding 3D YIG nanoresonators that hold promise in studying coupling phenomena between magnons, photons and phonons.
