Hunter C. Burch

Dr. Hunter C. Burch is an assistant professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Auburn University. His educational background includes:

• Bachelor’s degree (2014) from Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama
• Master’s (2018) and PhD (2021) from the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, where he worked as a research assistant in the Ionospheric Radio Lab under Dr. Robert Moore

Dr. Burch has nearly a decade of research experience in long-distance radio propagation, ionospheric physics, and remote sensing of space weather. His work has been published in IEEE journals (Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing) and the American Geophysical Union’s Geophysical Research Letters. He has presented at major national and international conferences, including those of AGU and URSI.

His research is funded by grants from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the United States Army, the United States Air Force, and the National Science Foundation, focusing on long-distance radiowave propagation, space weather impacts on the ionosphere, and advanced signal processing techniques for positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) as well as remote sensing.
