Hunter Burch
Assistant Professor
Graduate Program Co-Officer
Dr. Hunter C. Burch is an assistant professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Auburn University. He received his Bachelor’s degree (2014) from Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama, and his Master’s (2018) and PhD (2021) degrees from the University of Florida in 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 the field of long-distance radio propagation, ionospheric physics, and remote sensing of space weather.
His research is published in the IEEE journals Transactions on Antennas and Propagation and Geoscience and Remote Sensing, and the American Geophysical Union’s Geophysical Research Letters. He has also presented research on radiowave propagation at major national and international conferences of the American Geophysical Union and the International Union of Radio Science (URSI). His research has included funded projects from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the United States Army, the United States Air Force, and the National Science Foundation to study long-distance radiowave propagation, space weather impacts on the ionosphere, and advanced signal processing techniques for positioning, navigation, and timing as well as remote sensing.
