Rhodes Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Clemson University and Director of the University’s Center for Research in Wireless Communications. He holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Mississippi, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Illinois. He has served on the faculties of the University of Kentucky, the University of Mississippi, as an Affiliate Professor at Washington University, and as Senior Scientist, then Principal Scientist in Electromagnetic Signatures at the McDonnell Douglas Research Laboratories in St. Louis. He has also held a position at the Naval Surface Weapons Center. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and a member of Commissions B and D of the U.S. National Committee of the International Union for Radio Science (URSI). Dr. Pearson has, in the past, served on the Administrative Committee for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, as Secretary of the Electromagnetics Society, as the Technical Program CommitteefChair for the 1998 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation/URSI National Radio Science Meeting, and as Head of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Clemson University. He has served as Editor-in-Chief for the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation and on the Editorial Board of the IEEE Proceedings. He served as Vice President, then President, of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society in 2002 and 2003, respectively. He currently is Chair of USNC-URSI Commission D. He is a recipient of an IEEE Third Millennium Medal, the Clemson University) Provost’s Award for Scholarly Excellence, and the McQueen Quattlebaum Faculty Achievement Award.
Dr. Pearson's research interests include millimeter wave systems, coupled oscillator arrays, asymptotic methods in electromagnetics, and software defined radio especially as related to agile antennas. Application areas include communications, spatial power combining, and low-cost phased- array antennas.
