Appendix 2 – page 4 9. ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT OF THE NOMINATION (Limit to this page)

Leadership Professor Sarabandi has been the Director of the Radiation Laboratory at University of Michigan for the past 10 years. From its inception over 50 years ago the Laboratory has been recognized internationally for its work on radar for ground-based, air- borne and space-borne applications. Under Professor Sarabandi’s leadership, the Laboratory has grown to a staff of over 14 faculty and research scientists, and more than 80 Ph.D. students, with an annual external research funding of over $5M from a variety of government agencies and industrial companies. He is also director of the newly established Microelectronics Center, funded by the Army Research Office at an overall budget of $22M. In 2006 Prof. Sarabandi was appointed by the NASA administrator as a member of the NASA Advisory Committee (NAC) on Earth Science for a three-year period. This appointment was extended for a second term in 2009. In this capacity he has been instrumental in advocating implementation of three space-borne microwave missions for environmental monitoring. For his contributions he was awarded a certificate of recognition by Senator Schmitt (Chair of NAC) and Dr. Griffin (NASA Administrator) in 2007. He has been very active as a volunteer for IEEE. He established and chaired the Geoscience and Remote Sensing (GRS) Chapter in Michigan (1991- 1997), is the founding editor of the IEEE GRS Book Series (2007- present), served as vice president of IEEE GRS (2002- 2007), member of the Editorial Board of the IEEE Proceedings, associate editor and guest editor for a number of IEEE journal, and many more.

Technical Contributions The quality and quantity of professor Sarabandi’s research and contributions place him among the top 1% of researchers in his field. He is a prolific author who has published more than 180 refereed papers in highly reputable IEEE journals, more than 420 (mostly refereed) papers in international conference proceedings, and many book chapters. His papers are all well cited (most of them in the range of 30 -360) and his presentations at the conferences are very well attended. Contribution of Professor Sarabandi in radar remote sensing can be grouped into theoretical, experimental, and technology development activities. He has developed very comprehensive and unique forward and inverse scattering models for remote sensing of vegetation and soil moisture using sensors such as synthetic aperture radars (SAR), polarimetric SAR, and interferometric SAR. In fact his Ph.D. thesis on “Electromagnetic Scattering form Vegetation Canopies“ which he started about a quarter of century ago, is a pioneering work of using imaging radar system for monitoring vegetation in global scale to examine the issue of “Global Warming” that has attained so much attention just in the past few years. Many of the algorithms and theoretical models are considered classic and heavily used by remote sensing practitioners (Int. J. Remote Sens. July 1990; Radio Sci. Oct. 1992: IEEE TGRS March 1992, Sept. 97, Dec. 97, Jan. 99,…). He was involved in mission planning and ground experiments in support of NASA’s Shuttle Imaging Radar C (SIR-C) (1994) and the calibration and validation activities associated with the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) (2000) . For these missions he invented active and passive polarimetric radar calibrators (IEEE TGRS Oct. 92, IEEE TAP Oct. 96) and very smart external calibration techniques based on single and distributed targets (IEEE TGRS Jan. 1990, Nov. 90, Dec. 92, May 94, July 95) that are now the standard technique commonly used throughout the world. He was also the principal investigator on a NASA Instrument Incubator program (IIP) through which he developed and demonstrated for the first time the concept of a space borne multistatic imaging radar system with a combination of geostationary transmitters and multiple low-earth orbiting receiving satellites. Another contribution of practical importance pertaining to the field of space engineering is Professor Sarabandi’s activities related to uplink calibration of large phased array reflectors for deep space communication. He, for the first time, developed and demonstrated calibration methods based on in-orbit constellation of radar transponders and the Moon surface as a calibration target, by using the synthetic aperture radar modality made possible by the relative motion of the Earth and the Moon (IEEE Trans. AES 2007, and 2010). Professor Sarabandi has also developed and implemented many antenna architectures for space applications including a number of miniaturized antenna concepts (IEEE Trans. AP March 03, June 03, April 04, June 04, ….) for low frequency applications for which he was granted six patents. He has also successfully completed many large projects that have led to the development of sensors and algorithms for space- or air-borne detection of foliage camouflaged targets and targets within building structures. Professor Sarabandi holds 9 U.S. patents, with an additional 10 pending.

Teaching and Mentoring Professor Sarabandi is an exemplary teacher both in the classroom and as a research advisor to postgraduate students. Over the past 20 years, he has been continuously ranked among the top 10% of faculty by students at the University of Michigan. To date he has supervised 34 Ph.D. students and numerous Masters-degree Students, many of whom are teaching at top ranked universities in the U.S. and other parts of the world or hold important positions at government labs and industry. He has developed three graduate-level courses in Electromagnetics and Microwave Remote Sensing in which over 600 graduate students have received advanced training. He has also developed many short courses that are routinely offered at many IEEE conferences. He has received many distinctions for his contributions in teaching including the EECS Teaching Excellence Award (1996), University of Michigan Faculty Recognition Award (2005), and two Hewllet Packard Teaching grants (1993 and 1997).

Publications Professopr Sarabandi has published total of 180 peer reviewed journal paper, 427 conference paper, 6 book chapters and hold 9 US patents and 10 others pending.
