Biography
Christopher T. Allen (M'94–SM'95) was born in Independence, MO, on October 7, 1958. He received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Kansas, Lawrence, in 1980, 1982, and 1984, respectively.
From 1984 to 1990, he was with Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM, working in exploratory radar systems and development of high-speed digital systems. From 1990 to 1994, he was with the Allied Signal Kansas City Division, Kansas City, MO, where he worked in the areas of high-speed digital design, radar systems analysis, and multichip module development. Since August 1994, he has been a faculty member in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Kansas. His research interests include high-speed digital circuits, microwave remote sensing, radar systems, and photonics and lightwave technologies. He has served as a technical reviewer for several IEEE journals, as well as Remote Sensing of the Environment, Geophysics—The Journal of the Society of Exploration Geophysicistsand Journal of Glaciology. He currently is the Director of the Radar Systems and Remote Sensing Laboratory and Co-Director of the Lightwave Communication Systems Laboratory, University of Kansas. He also serves on the Society of Automotive Engineers International AE-8D task group on standards development for Fiber Optic Cable and Test Methods for aerospace applications.
Dr. Allen is a member of Phi Kappa Phi, Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, and the International Union of Radio Science (URSI).
