KU Engineering Professor Named Editor of Newly Launched International Academic Journal Focused on Radar
A professor at the University of Kansas School of Engineering has been named the first editor of a new academic journal.
Shannon Blunt is the Roy A. Roberts Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science at KU. He will head up IEEE Transactions on Radar Systems, a new online journal published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
“This journal is going to create a sort of one-stop shop for all things radar research related,” Blunt said.
Blunt, who joined KU in 2005, brings a wealth of experience to the task. In addition to his work at KU, he has served on the U.S. President’s Council of Advisors on Science & Technology (PCAST) and as chair for multiple IEEE Radar Conferences. Most recently he served as a senior editor on radar systems for another journal from the same organization, IEEE Transactions on Aerospace & Electronic Systems.
