Dr. Julio Urbina of The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802

Biography:

Dr. Julio Urbina received his BSEE degree from Universidad Nacional de Ingenieria, Lima, Peru, in 1990, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in 1996 and 2002, respectively. He has worked at Jicamarca Radio Observatory, Arecibo Observatory, and University of Arkansas. He is currently an Associate Professor in Penn State. Dr. Urbina’s research has used radio and radar technologies to study the Earth’s middle and upper atmosphere. He conducts research in RF and Microwaves, digital systems and space instrumentation, cognitive radars, software-defined radio and radars, sensors, acquisition, drones, UAVs, harmonic radars, reconfigurable instrumentation, meteor radio science, radio wave propagation, space engineering, remote sensing, and radar studies of the ionosphere. His educational research interests include effective teaching techniques for enhancing engineering education, global engineering and international perspectives, computational thinking, cyberlearning and cyber-environments, teaming and collaborative learning. In 2011, Dr. Urbina received the National Science Foundation CAREER award for his research on Cognitive Radar systems to study plasma instabilities. In 2015, Dr. Urbina received the Fulbright Scholar Award from the Department of State.

Dr. Urbina is the Chair of IEEE Central Pennsylvania Section. He is also member of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society, International Union of Radio Science Commission G, and CEDAR Science Steering Committee. He has been an Associate Editor for the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, and served as an Arecibo Observatory Users and Scientific Advising Committee Member. He has mentored many undergraduate students and has graduated numerous graduate students and received many awards over the years.
