Research Areas
Our
laboratory performs theoretical, numerical and experimental research in
electromagnetic wave propagation and remote sensing in random and
complex media. The following are the research topics of our interest:
-
Remote sensing of
the earth, atmosphere, terrain, ocean

of the Earth surface (sponsored by JPL)
-
Imaging and
detection of objects in complex environments
