Faculty Spotlight
Congratulations to Rafael A. Rodríguez Solís for being awarded the Advanced Research Grant by the Puerto Rico Science, Technology and Research Trust. He received the honor in recognition of his research project titled ‘Development of a dual-band (L-Ka), low size, weight and power (SWaP) microwave radiometer for ocean salinity mapping (MiRaS) for small UAS.’
Expressing gratitude, Rafael said, “The grant is a great opportunity to take the CESSRST funded work developed at UPRM to the next level, by developing a field-worthy prototype with extended capabilities, test it with our NOAA collaborators, and explore commercialization opportunities.”
