Biography

Victor Raizer, PhD, DSc, physicist and researcher, has over 40 years of experience in the field of electromagnetic wave propagation, radiophysics, microwave radiometer/ radar and optical techniques, and remote sensing of the Earth’s environment. He graduated from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 1974 with an MS degree in engineering physics. He earned a PhD in experimental physics in 1979 and a DSc (Doctor of Science) in major physics and mathematics in 1996. Dr. Raizer worked in Russia and the USA providing a broad spectrum of scientific research including developments of airspace observation technology, nonacoustic detection capabilities, modeling, simulation, and prediction of complex remotely sensed data. He is the author of several books and a senior member of IEEE.
