Instructors
George Brown, a Georgia Tech Research Institute senior research engineer, has worked on many aspects of radar signal processing for applications, including synthetic aperture radar, tracking, and pattern synthesis. His current research interest includes multifunction phased array radars, application of adaptive digital beamforming to tracking, and phase only pattern synthesis.
Glenn Hopkins, senior research engineer with Georgia Tech Research Institute's Sensors and Electromagnetic Applications Laboratory, has more than 19 years of experience in the design, prototyping, and testing of antennas and RF components. He has been awarded two U.S. patents and has published more than 65 technical papers and research reports. Hopkins is a senior member of the IEEE and received his M.S.E.E. from Georgia Tech.
Jeff Kemp, senior research scientist in Georgia Tech Research Institute's Electromagnetic and Antennas Division of the Sensors and Electromagnetic Applications Laboratory, has more than 13 years of experience in modeling, analysis and measurements of antennas and antennas in radar systems. Kemp has published more than 40 technical papers, including symposia papers, and is a member of the IEEE, serving as the section chair for the IEEE Atlanta Section. He serves on the board of directors and is the 2008 president for the Antenna Measurements and Techniques Association .He received his B.S. and M.S. in physics from Georgia Institute of Technology.
Daniel Leatherwood, senior research engineer in Georgia Tech Research Institute's Electromagnetic and Antennas Division of the Sensors and Electromagnetic Applications Laboratory, researches the design, analysis, and modeling of antenna systems and components; the effects of phased array transients on ECM and advanced adaptive processing algorithms; and the modeling and analysis of ground-based and space-based radar.
Victor Tripp, principal research engineer at Georgia Tech Research Institute, has 30 years of experience in electromagnetic-related engineering. He has produced or co-written seven U.S. patents. Tripp has developed diverse antennas that have been successfully produced and directed the development, qualification, and delivery of an antenna that is now interfacing with the Russian astronauts on NASA's International Space Station. Tripp's primary areas of expertise are broadband antennas, antenna errors and damage, numerical analysis of antennas, and interference between antennas mounted on vehicles.
