Lorenzo Bruzzone

Lorenzo Bruzzone received the Laurea (M.S.) degree in electronic engineering (summa cum laude) and the Ph.D. degree in telecommunications from the University of Genoa, Italy, in 1993 and 1998, respectively. He is currently a Full Professor of telecommunications at the University of Trento, Italy, where he teaches remote sensing, radar, and digital communications. Dr. Bruzzone is the founder and the director of the Remote Sensing Laboratory (https://rslab.disi.unitn.it/) in the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science. His current research interests are in the areas of remote sensing, radar and SAR, signal processing, machine learning and pattern recognition. He is the Principal Investigator of many research projects. Among the others, he is currently the Principal Investigator of the Radar for icy Moon exploration (RIME) instrument in the framework of the JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Science Lead for the High Resolution Land Cover project in the framework of the Climate Change Initiative of ESA. He is the author (or coauthor) of more than 360 scientific publications in referred international journals, more than 350 papers in conference proceedings, and 22 book chapters. He is editor/co-editor of 18 books/conference proceedings and 1 scientific book. His papers are highly cited, as proven from the total number of citations (more than 47000) and the value of the h-index (103) (source: Google Scholar). He was invited as keynote speaker in more than 40 international conferences and workshops. Since 2009 he has been a member of the Administrative Committee of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS), where since 2019 he is Vice-President for Professional Activities. Dr. Bruzzone was recipient of many international honors and awards, including the recent IEEE GRSS 2015 Outstanding Service Award, the 2017 and 2018 IEEE IGARSS Symposium Prize Paper Awards and the 2019 WHISPER Outstanding Paper Award. He is the co-founder of the IEEE International Workshop on the Analysis of Multi-Temporal Remote-Sensing Images (MultiTemp) series and is currently a member of the Permanent Steering Committee of this series of workshops. Since 2003 he has been the Chair of the SPIE Conference on Image and Signal Processing for Remote Sensing. He has been the founder of the IEEE GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING MAGAZINE for which he has been Editor-in-Chief between 2013-2017. He has been Distinguished Speaker of the IEEE GRSS between 2012-2016. He is a Fellow of IEEE.
