Biography
Kazem Bakian-Dogaheh was born in Rudbar, Guilan (Iran) he received his B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tehran (UT), Tehran, Iran, in 2017. From 2015 to 2017, he was with the Photonics Research Laboratory (UT), as an Undergraduate Research Assistant. At the same time, he was a Test and Measurement Engineer and member of the Technical Staff for the Antenna Type Approval Laboratory (UT). He is a Ph.D. student and Graduate Research Assistant in the Microwave Systems, Sensors, and Imaging Lab (MiXIL) in the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA.
His research interest includes the development of new radar instrument and measurement technologies for subsurface and sub-canopy characterization, the development of forward and inverse scattering techniques of layered media, and transforming concepts of radar remote sensing to near-field and medical imaging and therapy system. He is participating as a graduate student member in NASA ABoVE (Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment) project.
