John M. Cioffi
Hitachi America Professor in the School of Engineering, Emeritus
BioJohn M. Cioffi taught Stanford's graduate electrical engineering course sequence in digital communications for over 20 years from 1986 to 2008, when he retired to emeritus. Cioffi's research interests were in the theory of transmitting the highest possible data rates on a number of different communications channels, many of which efforts were spun out of Stanford through he and/or his many former PhD students to companies, most notably including the basic designed used worldwide on more than 500 million DSL connections. Cioffi also over saw the prototype developments for the worlds first cable modem and digital-audio broadcast system. Cioffi pioneering the use of remote management algorithms to improve (over the internet or cloud) both wireline (DSL) and wireless (Wi-Fi) physical-layer transmission performance, an area often known as Dynamic Spectrum Management or Dynamic Line Management. Cioffi was co-inventer on basic patents for vectored DSL transmission and optimized MIMO wireless transmission. In his early career, Cioffi developed the worlds first full-duplex voiceband data modem while at Bell Laboratories, and the worlds first adaptively equalized disk read channel while at IBM. His courses and research projects over the years centered on these areas.

Sigrid Close
Associate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering
BioProf. Close's research involves space weather detection and modeling for improved spacecraft designs, and advanced signal processing and electromagnetic wave interactions with plasma for ground-to-satellite communication systems. These topics fall under the Space Situational Awareness (SSA) umbrella that include environmental remote sensing using satellite systems and ground-based radar. Her current efforts are the MEDUSSA (Meteoroid, Energetics, and Debris Understanding for Space Situational Awareness) program, which uses dust accelerators to understand the effects of hypervelocity particle impacts on spacecraft along with Particle-In-Cell simulations, and using ground-based radars to characterize the space debris and meteoroid population remotely. She also has active programs in hypersonic plasmas associated with re-entry vehicles.

Riley Culberg
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2019
BioMy research focuses on resolving the near-surface and internal structure of the continental ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica using airborne ice penetrating radar systems. I am particularly interested in understanding the coupling between firn structure and near-surface hydrology in Greenland, the evolution of this system in a warming climate, and its influence on the large scale ice sheet mass balance and hydrology. Additionally, I am interested in deep englacial structure as a reflection of past climate processes and ice sheet age structure. My approach to these questions involves the synthesis of electromagnetic theory, radar signal and system constraints, and in-situ observations to develop both forward and inverse methods that link physical conditions of interest within the ice sheets to their expression in radar sounding data. Applying these tools to the analysis of radar sounding data allows me to place observational constraints on state of the englacial system at scales and resolutions that bridge the gap between field measurements and numerical models. In addition, I have applied some of these same techniques to study the optimal system design parameters for future high altitude or satellite-based radar systems.
