Biography

Jeffrey L. Krolik
	Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University, USA Education: Jeffrey received his BA.Sc. from the University of Toronto in 1980, his MA.Sc. from the Unviersity of Toronto in 1983, and his PhD from the University of Toronto in 1987. Accomplishments: Canadian-born, Jeffrey began his academic career as an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Concordia University in Montreal. Interested in signal processing applications in the ocean sciences, he joined the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego as an Assistant Research Scientist in 1990.
At Scripps, he developed physics-based sensor array processing methods that exploit multi-path underwater acoustic propagation. Since coming to Duke in 1992, he has broadened his research interests to include statistical signal processing for surveillance radars and microwave remote sensing, active and passive sonar, and medical imaging. Some of his current projects include the development of aircraft height finding for over-the-horizon HF radar, through-the-sensor environmental monitoring of near-surface atmospheric conditions using a shipboard microwave radar, active sonar array shape estimation from reverberation, and functional magnetic resonance imaging algorithms which are robust to head motion. As a consultant, he has worked for the Office of Naval Research, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and the Air Force Research Laboratories. Awards/Honors: IEEE Signal Processing Society Paper Award, 1990
