Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces for Radar and Communications
Biography:
Kumar Vijay Mishra (S’08-M’15-SM’18) obtained a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and M.S. in
mathematics from The University of Iowa in 2015, and M.S. in electrical engineering from Colorado State
University in 2012, while working on NASA’s Global Precipitation Mission Ground Validation (GPM-GV)
weather radars. He received his B. Tech. summa cum laude (Gold Medal, Honors) in electronics and
communication engineering from the National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur (NITH), India in 2003.
He is a Senior Fellow at the United States DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory; Research Scientist at the
Institute for Systems Research, The University of Maryland, College Park under the ARL-ArtIAMAS
program; Technical Adviser to Singapore-based automotive radar start-up Hertzwell and Boston-based
imaging radar startup Aura Intelligent Systems; and honorary Research Fellow at SnT - Interdisciplinary
Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust, University of Luxembourg. Previously, he had research
appointments at the Electronics and Radar Development Establishment (LRDE), Defence Research and
Development Organisation (DRDO) Bengaluru; IIHR - Hydroscience & Engineering, Iowa City, IA;
Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs, Cambridge, MA; Qualcomm, San Jose; and Technion - Israel Institute
of Technology.
Dr. Mishra has served as the Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Communications Society (2023-2024),
IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society (AESS) (2023-2024, 2025-2026), IEEE Vehicular
Technology Society (2023-2025, 2025-2027), IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (2024-2025),
and IEEE Future Networks Initiative (2022). He is the recipient of the IEEE Signal Processing Society
Pierre-Simon Laplace Early Career Technical Achievement Award (2024), Special Mention for the IEEE
AESS M. Barry Carlton Award (2023), IET Premium Best Paper Prize (2021), IEEE T-AES Outstanding
Editor (2021, 2023), U. S. National Academies Harry Diamond Distinguished Fellowship (2018-2021),
American Geophysical Union Editors' Citation for Excellence (2019), Royal Meteorological Society
Quarterly Journal Editor's Prize (2017), Viterbi Postdoctoral Fellowship (2015, 2016), Lady Davis
Postdoctoral Fellowship (2017), DRDO LRDE Scientist of the Year Award (2006), NITH Director’s Gold
Medal (2003), and NITH Best Student Award (2003). He has received Best Paper Awards at IEEE MLSP
2019 and IEEE ACES Symposium 2019.
Dr. Mishra is Chair (2023-2026) of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI) Commission C, Chair
(2025-) of IEEE AESS Technical Working Group on Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC-TWG),
and Vice-Chair (2021-present) of the IEEE Synthetic Aperture Standards Committee, which is the first
SPS standards committee. He has been Chair (2023-2025) of the IEEE SPS Synthetic Apertures Technical
Working Group. He has been an elected member of three technical committees of IEEE SPS: SPCOM,
SAM, and ASPS, and IEEE AESS Radar Systems Panel. He is Editor-in-Chief of River Rapids Series in Radar
Systems, Signal Processing, Antennas and Electromagnetics (2025-). He has been Senior Area Editor of
IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing (2024-), Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and
Electronic Systems (2020-) and IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation (2023-). He has been a
lead/guest editor of several special issues in journals such as IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, IEEE
Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing, IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, and
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing. He is the lead co-
editor of several books on signal processing and radar: Signal Processing for Joint Radar-
Communications (Wiley-IEEE Press, 2024), Next-Generation Cognitive Radar Systems (IET Press
Electromagnetics and Radar Series, 2023), Advances in Weather Radar Volumes 1, 2 & 3 (IET Press
Electromagnetics and Radar Series, 2023), and Handbook of Statistics 55: Multidimensional Signal
Processing (Elsevier). His research interests include radar systems, signal processing, remote sensing,
and electromagnetics.
