PhD student position for the simulation of specular meteor trails using a full wave scattering model

The PhD candidate will be responsible for developing a module for the University of Bern's digital twin of a specular/transverse scatter meteor radar simulator. This project aims to create a forward model for meteor trail echo profiles in monostatic and forward scatter geometries. It will involve implementing a full wave scattering model along with Fresnel diffraction optics. The forward model will take into account polarization effects related to the meteoroid trajectory and multifrequency trai…
