CV

Sean T. Peters earned his bachelor’s degree (2015) in electrical engineering from Rice University and his master’s degree (2017) in electrical engineering from Stanford University, where he currently is a Ph.D. candidate. He has extensive teaching, mentoring  and outreach experience at Stanford, and is a member of IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society, American Geophysical Union, International Glaciological Society and Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. He has served as a mentor for Stanford’s El Centro Chicano y Latino and is active in the Bay Area Graduate Pathways to STEM. His goal is to become a recognized expert in his field of radar remote sensing and to develop radar systems for diverse applications in Earth and planetary science. His long-term research projects are geared toward recycling a diversity of electromagnetic signals to advance passive sounding for Earth and planetary science in several directions, such as passive array-based tomography and nanosatellite passive radar sensing. Once in a faculty position, he intends to increase accessibility and diversity of academia by leading recruiting efforts for summer undergraduate research programs that prepare underrepresented minorities for graduate school.
