will be a self-contained window into a different facet of radio, ranging from signal modulation, radio propagation, and amateur radio, to radar, radio astronomy, and space-based applications, to the technologies behind cellular communications and 5G. No prior
experience with radio is necessary or expected and all are welcome. Feel free to attend individual lectures, or better yet come to all of them!

radio instrumentation cutting across Geospace, Astronomy, and Space science. These instruments are used to make detailed physical measurements and have been part of many NSF, NASA, and DoD supported investigations. Key instrumentation includes the National
Science Foundation’s Millstone Hill Geospace Radar Facility, the RAPID (Radio Array of Portable Interferometric Detectors) system, low cost array radars, software defined radio architectures for radio telescopes, and efforts to develop a space borne electromagnetic
vector sensor for the upcoming NASA AERO (Aurora Emissions Radio Observer) and VISTA (Vector Interferometry Space Technology using AERO) cubesat missions. Dr. Lind studied at the University of Washington where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics
and a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science in 1994. He then joined the UW Geophysics Program and pursued studies leading to the Doctor of Philosophy in Geophysics in 1999. His work there focused on Passive Radar observations of the Aurora Borealis.

<span class="m_2063192859189610533s1"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">Dr. Anthea J. Coster is an Assistant Director and principal research scientist at the MIT Haystack Observatory. Her research interests include space weather, ionospheric and atmospheric coupling, and
GPS positioning and measurement accuracy. She received her Ph.D. in Space Physics and Astronomy from Rice University in 1983, under the guidance of William E. Gordon, the founder of the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. In 1991, she and her co-workers developed
the first real-time ionospheric monitoring system based on GPS. In 2001, she used GPS total electron content (TEC) maps to image the plume of storm enhanced density (SED) that is frequently observed over the United States following geomagnetic storms. This
SED feature has severe impacts on the FAA’s wide area augmentation system (WAAS). Recently, she has used GPS to monitor the effect of the 2017 solar eclipse, and to monitor traveling ionospheric disturbances following large space weather storms. She is a
Fellow of the Institute of Navigation, and has served on the Institute of Navigation (ION) Council (2001-2006) and as secretary for the ION Satellite Division (2013-2015). She is the past commission G chair for URSI, and has also served on the NSF CEDAR steering
committee. She is a lecturer in the ION-sponsored Workshop on Science Applications in GNSS in Developing Countries, and has traveled to Italy, Azerbaijan, Rwanda, and Ethiopia to present space weather lectures.</span></span><span style="font-size:8.5pt;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<span class="m_2063192859189610533s1"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">Dr. Joel Dawson is well known in the RF world for his many contributions to RF architectures and efficient power amplifier systems. He got his undergraduate degree at MIT, did his doctoral work at
Stanford with Tom Lee and later returned to MIT as a Professor. He left MIT to found Eta Devices (as CTO) based on some of his MIT research - a new architecture enabling major improvement in the achievable efficiencies of cell phone and base station transmitters.
Eta Devices was successfully acquired by Nokia in 2016 (which is deploying this new technology in basestations) and led to a follow-on startup company Eta Wireless (which is pursuing the handset and wifi spaces for the technology). Joel now leads a group
at Nokia both disseminating the technology into 4G basestations and developing new 5G systems which exploit these ideas to achieve much higher efficiency.<u></u><u></u></span></span></p>
