| Gabriel Laufer | | Associate Professor, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering | | Ph.D., Princeton University | | | | Dr. Laufer joined the
faculty in 1989. He has authored more
than 80 technical publications, patents and a graduate level textbook. He previously worked at Western Electric Co., directed the
Industrial Laser Laboratory at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology,
and worked for NASA Ames Research Center. | | | | Research Interests | | Gabriel Laufer’s research interests include passive remote sensing of chemical effluents, with focus on differential absorption radiometer (DAR) for passive remote sensing of effluent vapors in the long-wave infrared (IR) (8-13.3 mm). Another area of interest is suborbital deployment of atmospheric remote sensors. This is primarily an undergraduate project intended to provide an annual suborbital launch of a suite of sensors to remotely sense atmospheric and surface parameters. | | |
