Donald E. Barrick Elected Fellow IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society

OES recognises Donald E. Barrick as a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Dr. Barrick is the founder, president and principal engineer of CODAR Ocean Systems, Ltd. (COS). Recent technology advances he has spearheaded within COS involve buoy-based bistatic expansion of SeaSonde coastal coverage; low-power, compact UHF bistatic radars for river flow gaging; and a compact skywave HF radar design that can map ocean surface conditions to 4,000km.

Through his career dr. Barrick has focused on development of compact low-frequency radar systems with novel waveforms for cost-effective remote sensing, leading to several US patents.

The grade of Fellow recognises unusual distinction in the profession and shall be conferred only by invitation of the Board of Directors upon a person of outstanding and extraordinary qualifications and experience in IEEE designated fields (including electrical engineering, electronics, computer engineering and computer sciences, and the allied branches of engineering and related arts and sciences), who has made important individual contributions to one or more of these fields, that have been reflected in an improved quality of life for society.
