Jason Merlo
I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Distributed Electromagnetic Theory and Application (DELTA) sub-group of the Electromagnetics Research Group (EMRG) at Michigan State University advised by Prof. Jeffrey Nanzer. My current research interests include software-defined radios, distributed radar and wireless system synchronization, interferometric arrays, synthetic aperture radar, joint radar-communications, and automotive radar applications.
Previously, I received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering at Michigan State University where I co-founded the Student Organized Autonomy Research group (SOAR) with the aim of enabling undergraduate and graduate students to become involved in autonomy research.
