Enabling state-of-the-art electromagnetics systems and remote sensing technologies

ECE boasts the world’s top researchers in electromagnetics and remote sensing. From developing small, experimental, low-cost cube satellites to using radars to better understand water woes in the West, our work is driving new innovations and improving lives. 

INCUS

storm-chasing mission

ECE Professors V. Chandrasekar and Steven Reising are key partners in a CSU-led effort to study storms and extreme weather from space using a trio of small satellites. The project aims to understand why, when, and where tropical convective storms form and why only some storms produce extreme weather.
