Luke Jacobs

Hello!

My name is Luke Jacobs.
I am a first-year PhD student in ECE at UIUC
and a fellow of the NSF.
My advisor is Prof. Elahe Soltanaghai of the CS dept.

About

My research interests include wireless networks, environmental sensing, and radars. I love to learn about systems that give humans insights into nature. My current research project is designing a custom stepped-CW radar for under-canopy soil moisture estimation. I am also a fellow of the National Science Foundation. The research proposal that won me the fellowship was an idea for a radar system to monitor urban bird populations.
