Eric Loria received the bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Valparaiso University, Valparaiso, IN, USA in 2015 and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA in 2020. He is currently a signal analysis engineer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory/Caltech, which he joined in 2020. His research interests include SAR and GNSS Reflectometry with an emphasis on electromagnetic scattering modeling, reflection signal processing methods for satellite platforms, and distributed radar systems architectures.

Dr. Simran Sangha graduated from UCLA with a PhD in Geology in 2021. He has been working at JPL since 2012 when he started interning through the Planetary Geosciences, Earth Surface and Interior, and Radar Science groups, before beginning work full time with the Radar Science group as a Signal Analysis Engineer in 2021.

He specializes in using remote sensing techniques to study deformation processes such as those associated with tectonics, hazards, and anthropogenic activities, as well as developing software intended to facilitate the access, management, and use of remote sensing products.

Dr. Mary Grace Bato is an Earth Scientist specializing in volcano geodesy, remote sensing, and model-data fusion techniques. Currently, Grace works as a Signal Analysis Engineer at JPL, where she leads the OPERA Calibration-Validation team for the Coregistered Single Look Complex (CSLC) and Displacement (DISP) products. Additionally, she supports the NASA Disaster Program as a subject-matter expert and serves as a rapid response data provider, particularly during earthquake and volcanic unrest events. Her passion is to bridge the gap between fundamental and applied sciences by developing robust and efficient forecasting frameworks and tools that would benefit society using advanced remote sensing techniques.
