Curtis Cohenour

Curtis Cohenour is an Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering Technology and Management at Ohio University's Russ College of Engineering and Technology. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (2009) from Ohio University, along with earlier degrees from Ohio University (M.S., 1988) and West Virginia Institute of Technology (B.S., 1980). His professional background includes industry roles as an electrical engineer and project manager, alongside research engineer positions at Ohio University's Avionics Engineering Center since 2002.

Research interests focus on avionics systems, navigation technology (including GPS/WAAS), image geo-registration corrections, and aerospace data analysis. His work with the Air Force Research Lab addresses airborne platform imaging errors, while collaborations span projects like the WPAFB WAMI data set and MLS/Airbus A380 critical area assessments. He is a registered professional engineer in Ohio and West Virginia.

Publications emphasize aerospace imaging accuracy (e.g., WAMI error elimination, diagnostic clock synchronization) and satellite signal integrity (GPS orbit/clock error distributions). He has contributed to education innovations, including PLC course design using finite state machines and Arduino-based labs. Technical reports cover critical aviation infrastructure impacts and advanced DGPS multipath models.

Cohenour's affiliations include the Air Force Research Laboratory and Avionics Engineering Center. His work bridges academic research with practical aerospace engineering challenges in navigation, imaging, and system validation.
