Professor Dr.Hamed Parsiani is a full professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez (UPRM). He has directed the development of the first operational three wavelengths Lidar System laboratory for the advanced atmospheric research in Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean region. He is the research director of the UPRM-NOAA-CREST grant (CREST is the recent NOAA research center- 5 in total in USA) which is now in its 3rd year as a research center, covering research in Tropospheric, Hydroclimate, and Coastal Remote Sensing areas. He is presently a UPRM-PI of grant sponsored by NSF-FUSION company in the area of Aquifer Delineation using Ground Penetrating Radar. His interests are in remote sensing using radar and lidar, image processing, image compression, soil type, soil moisture, and aquifer detection using ground penetrating radar.
His earlier research grants were sponsored by GSSI Inc. (PI), NASA-Tropical Research Center (Co-PI), NSF-PRECISE, NASA-PaSCOR as research collaborator. He contributed in the development of JPEG compression algorithm during his research work with Bell Communications Research (BELCOR), and Global Positioning System (GPS), a NASA grant. He was the co-organizer and co-chair of two NOAA-CREST Technical Symposiums (2006 & 2008), the chair of the International Symposium on Intelligent Systems in Communications (SISCAP-94) held at UPRM. He has served on several conferences paper review boards, and has over 50 publications in journals and proceedings.
He is an alumnus of the Oregon State University (BS EE & Math), and Texas A&M University (MEE, PhD in ECE), and a member of Eta Kappa Nu honor society, and IEEE.
