Pavlos Kollias is 

Professor at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, of Stony Brook University – State University of New York

Atmospheric Scientist, Department of Environmental Sciences, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton NY

Pavlos Kollias has spent twenty five years at the cutting edge of atmospheric experimentation. Kollias is internationally recognized as one of the leading thinkers in the use of radars for the study of atmospheric phenomena. He is interested in radar engineering, signal processing, smart sensors, instrumentation, and participates in several national and international projects that involve the development and application of novel phased array and spaceborne radars for weather and climate research. Prior to being hired as a joint appointment at Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory, Kollias was a prestigious Canada Research Chair and Professor at McGill University, Montreal Canada. He have authored and co-authored over 200 peer-reviewed scientific articles, and I am the recipient of a Humboldt Research Fellowship from Germany in 2013 and of the AGU Atmospheric Sciences Ascent Award in 2020.
