John F. Vesecky (S'61-M'67) received the B.A. and B.S. degrees in electrical engineering from Rice University, Houston, TX, in 1962 and 1963, respectively, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Stanford University, Stanford, CA in 1965 and 1967, respectively.
He was Research Fellow in astronomy from 1967 to 1969 at Leicester University, U.K., where he taught in the Astronomy Department from 1971 to 1976, and specialized in radio, radar, and X-ray observations of the sun and planets. He did research in radio wave propagation at the Communications and Radio Physics Laboratory at SRI International from 1964 to 1971 and was with the Electrical Engineering Department at Stanford University in several capacities from 1969 to 1971 and 1979 to 1995, becoming a Research Professor in 1983. He then became a Professor of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, from 1990 to date. From 1991 to 1993, he served as Director of the Space Physics Research Laboratory at Michigan. He has now been appointed the founding chairman of the new Electrical Engineering Department in the Baskin School of Engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz. His current research and teaching interests are in remote sensing and satellite system design. Most recently, he has been working with the design and construction of multifrequency HF radar with applications in coastal oceanography and limnology. A further research interest is the use of active and passive microwave techniques to retrieve surface wind vectors over the ocean.
