Lawrence Carin
Lawrence Carin earned the BS, MS, and PhD degrees in electrical engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park, in 1985, 1986, and 1989, respectively. In 1989 he joined the Electrical Engineering Department at Polytechnic University (Brooklyn) as an Assistant Professor, and became an Associate Professor there in 1994. In September 1995 he joined the Electrical Engineering Department at Duke University, where he is now a Professor. Dr. Carin was the principal investigator (PI) on a Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) on demining (1996-2001), and he is currently the PI of a MURI dedicated to multi-modal inversion. He is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. His current research interests include short-pulse scattering, subsurface sensing, and wave-based signal processing. He is an IEEE Fellow and a member of the Tau Beta Pi and Eta Kappa Nu honor societies.
