David Schvartzman (Senior Member, IEEE) was born in Piracicaba, SP, Brazil, on March 17, 1988. He received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK, USA, in 2015 and 2020, respectively, with a focus on polarimetric phased array radar. Dr. Schvartzman has held research positions supporting the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) and the Advanced Radar Research Center (ARRC) at the University of Oklahoma. At NSSL, he gained key insights into observational needs for improving weather warnings and forecasts and developed signal processing algorithms to enhance meteorological products for the operational US Weather Surveillance Radar (WSR-88D). He is currently an Assistant Professor with joint appointments in the School of Meteorology and the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Oklahoma, affiliated with the ARRC. His work spans signal and array processing, radar calibration, and the development of advanced radar techniques for weather observation and severe weather detection. Dr. Schvartzman is the recipient of several awards, including the 2023 IEEE R5 Outstanding Young Professional Award, the 2024 Research Excellence Award from the College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences at the University of Oklahoma, and the 2019 American Meteorological Society’s Spiros G. Geotis Prize. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and a member of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and its Scientific and Technological Activities Commission (STAC) on Radar Meteorology.
