Dr. Joseph Meola received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Dayton, Dayton, OH in 2004 and 2006, respectively. He received the PhD degree in electrical and computer engineering from Ohio State University in 2011. He is currently the Technical Advisor for the Electro-optic Target Detection and Surveillance Branch of the Sensors Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, OH. His research interests are in hyperspectral data modeling, sensor calibration and characterization, data exploitation, atmospheric modeling, and target detection.
