Summary
Tom Grydeland is a Senior Scientist and physicist with 13+ years applying advanced scientific programming to radar and remote sensing problems, from device drivers and real‑time acquisition to signal processing, visualization and technical writing. His research spans incoherent scatter radar, SAR/InSAR deformation monitoring, and electromagnetic propagation in ice, snow and subsurface exploration, blending deep physics insight with practical software engineering. Comfortable across C/C++, Python, Matlab, IDL and more, he has built simulation and analysis toolchains and contributed to signal‑processing prototypes like the MIDAS-W radar work during his time at MIT Haystack. Based in Tromsø, Norway, he combines hands‑on experimental systems work with academic rigor (PhD-level training), and a lesser-known strength is his track record of translating legacy scientific systems into modern, networked real‑time pipelines.
