Raviraj
Adve was born in Bombay, India. He received
his B.Tech. from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay in 1990 and the Ph.D.
from Syracuse University in 1996, both in Electrical Engineering. His dissertation
received the "Outstanding Dissertation Award" in 1997. Between 1997 and 2000 he
was a Senior Research Engineer with Research Associates for Defense Conversion
Inc., on contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory, Radar Signal Processing
Branch, Rome, NY, USA. He is currently an Assistant Professor with the Communications
Group in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of
Toronto. Dr. Adve's expertise is in the area of adaptive signal processing. In particular, his research interests are practical adaptive signal processing algorithms for wireless communications and airborne radar systems. He has worked extensively on practical space-time adaptive processing (STAP) for phased array radar systems, having published 12 conference and journal papers in this field. Dr. Adve has also worked extensively on model based parameter estimation techniques with applications in numerical electromagnetics. He has published 12 journal and several conference papers in this research area. He has also served on the organizing committees of the International Radar Conference and the Internation Antennas and Propagation Symposium.
