Tomoya Matsuda received the B.S. degree in 1997

from the Undergraduate School of Electrical and

Electronic Engineering, the Faculty of Engineering,

and M.S. degree in 1999 from the Department of Electronic and Communication Engineering, the Graduate School of Engineering Kyoto University, Kyoto,

Japan, where he is currently working toward the

Ph.D. degree with Department of Communications

and Computer Engineering, the Graduate School of

Informatics.

In 1999, he joined Mitsubishi Electric Corporation,

Tokyo, Japan, where he has been engaged in the development of active phased

array radar system. His research interests include the development of phased

array radar systems for atmospheric and weather radars.

Dr. Matsuda was the recipient of the 2022 Gambo-Tatehira Award of the

Meteorological Society of Japan on behalf of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.

Hiroyuki Hashiguchi received the bachelor of engineering degree from the Department of Electrical

Engineering, the Faculty of Engineering and Design, Kyoto Institute of Technology, Kyoto, Japan, in

1990, and the Ph.D. degree from the Department of

Electrical Science and Engineering, Graduate School

of Engineering, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan, in

1995.

In 1997, he became a Research Associate with the

Radio Atmospheric Science Center, Kyoto University

(reorganized in 2000 as the Radio Science Center for

Space and Atmosphere). In 2001, he became an Associate Professor with the

Radio Science Center for Space and Atmosphere, Kyoto University [reorganized

in 2004 as the Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere (RISH)]. In

2018, he became a Professor with RISH. His research interests include the

development of atmospheric radars and research on observations using their

radars.

Dr. Hashiguchi is a Member of the Meteorological Society of Japan, the

Society of Geomagnetism and Earth, Planetary and Space Sciences, the American Meteorological Society, the American Geophysical Union, and the Institute

of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers, Japan. In 1992, he

became the Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.

He was a recipient of the 2006 Minister of Education Science and Technology

Award, and the 2008 Horiuchi Award and 2022 Gambo-Tatehira Award of the

Meteorological Society of Japan.
