Seebany
Datta-Barua is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical and
Aerospace Engineering at the Illinois Institute of
Technology in Chicago, Illinois.
Her research interests are in space
weather forecasting through imaging and estimation of the
dynamics of the upper atmosphere.
Professor Datta-Barua is especially interested in
using radio waves from Global Navigation Satellite Systems
such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) for remotely
sensing the ionosphere, using tomography and data
assimilation of these measurements for improved
atmospheric prediction, and in mitigating atmospheric
effects on GPS-based aircraft navigation systems.
She received her B.S. in
physics, and M.S. and Ph.D. (2008) degrees in aeronautics
and astronautics, all from Stanford University. From 2008
to 2010, she was a Research Engineer at Atmospheric and
Space Technology Research Associates (ASTRA).
Prior to joining IIT in 2012, Prof. Datta-Barua
was an Assistant Professor of Aviation and Technology at
San Jose State University.
She has taught classes in spacecraft dynamics,
advanced dynamics, the space environment, private pilot
ground school,and aviation safety.
