I am happy to share the success of my PhD students Sean Kearney and Sultanus Salehin, who earned 2nd and 3rd place, respectively, in the Best Student Paper Competition of the IEEE International Radar Conference, held May 3-9 in Atlanta, GA.
Out of roughly 60 student paper submissions, each student’s work is subjected to multiple rounds of review: first, from the conference review process that determines which papers are accepted to the conference, then through two more rounds of review from experts in the radar field to select a cohort of 5 finalists and 2 finalist-alternates. Finally, the students must present their work to a special poster session attended only by a committee of judges, whose ratings then determine the top three student papers.
Congratulations Sean and Sultan!! Also congratulations to all the student paper finalists and to the winner of the student paper competition (Callin A. Schone, University of Oklahoma)!!
2nd Place Paper: S. Kearney and S.Z. Gurbuz, “Semantic Segmentation Guided RF Micro-Doppler Synthesis and UAV Classification in Low SINR,” IEEE International Radar Conference, Atlanta, GA, May 2025.
