Biography
Dr. Steffes received the S.B. and S.M. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA in 1977, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, CA, in 1982. His doctoral research at Stanford University concentrated on microwave radio occultation experiments using the Voyager and Mariner spacecraft, with specific interest in microwave absorption in planetary atmospheres.
At MIT, he was involved in the development of a 118-GHz radiometer system to measure atmospheric absorption by oxygen. From 1977 to 1982, he worked at Watkins-Johnson Company in the design and development of millimeter-wave receiving and communications systems.
In 1982, Dr. Steffes joined the faculty of Georgia Tech and is currently a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. His research has been sponsored by NASA, the NSF, the SETI Institute and by industry. He has been involved with numerous NASA missions, including Pioneer-Venus, Magellan, the Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS), and the High Resolution Microwave Survey (HRMS).
