Speaker: Masanobu Shimada, IEEE Fellow, JAXA, Japan.
Dr. Shimada is an ALOS Science Manager at the Earth Observation Research Center (EORC), which is part of the Office of Space Applications at JAXA, and a Doctor of Engineering. He graduated from the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Kyoto University in 1977, and received an M.Eng. from the university in 1979. In the same year, he joined the National Space Development Agency of Japan (now part of JAXA). Since then, Dr. Shimada has worked on the development of microwave scatterometers at the Tsukuba Space Center, ground facility development for the JERS-1 satellite, and SAR applications research at EORC. He conducted research on accurate measurement of backscattering coefficient, and received a Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo in 1999. Dr. Shimada is a Fellow of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society, a Director of the Remote Sensing Society of Japan. He specializes in microwave remote sensing, SAR processing, interferometric SAR, and analysis of alternating polarization SAR.
