William H. Younger Professor of Engineering at Duke University. He has been the Principal Investigator on numerous large DoD projects, including an ARO MURI dedicated to mine detection (1996-2001) and a DARPA/ARO MURI (2001-2006) dedicated to adaptive multi-model sensing. His principal areas of research involve adaptive physics-based signal processing. Under basic ONR funding, he led development of a new hidden Markov model (HMM) for characterization of multi-aspect scattering from general targets, with demonstrations performed for ONR using measured MCM and ASW data. At the Signal Innovations Group (SIG) Dr. Carin is the PI on several research projects, including SAR-based detection of concealed targets, airborne mine detection, as well as development of techniques for detection of unexploded ordnance (UXO). Dr. Carin is the author or co-author of over 120 papers published in peer-review journals. In 2003 he was an Invited Guest Editor for a Special Issue of the IEEE Trans. on Geoscience and Remote Sensing dedicated to mine detection, and in 2004 he was the Invited Guest Editor of a Special Issue of Radio Science dedicated to subsurface sensing. In 2000 he was awarded the DoD Cleanup Project of the Year, and in 2002 he served as a member of a White House Advisory Panel on the future of mine research. Dr. Carin was elected a Fellow of the IEEE in 2001. |
