El professor Adriano Camps ha estat elegit president del Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society 2017 (GRSS)
At its November meeting, the GRSS AdCom elected Professor Adriano Camps to serve as 2017 GRSS President as well as Professor Paolo Gamba to serve as 2017 GRSS Executive Vice-President. Both President and Executive Vice-President serve for a one-year term, and each may be re-elected for a second one-year term.
Adriano Camps received the degree in Telecommunications Engineering and Ph.D. degree in Telecommunications Engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona, Spain, in 1992 and 1996, respectively. In 1991 to 1992, he was at the ENS des Télécommunications de Bretagne, France, with an Erasmus Fellowship. Since 1993, he has been with the Electromagnetics and Photonics Engineering Group, Department of Signal Theory and Communications, UPC, where he was first Assistant Professor, Associate Professor in 1997, and Full Professor since 2007.
Since 1993, he has been strongly involved in the European Space Agency SMOS Earth Explorer Mission, from the instrument and algorithmic points of view, performing field experiments... Since 2001 he has been studying the use of GNSS-R techniques to perform the sea state correction needed to retrieve salinity from L-band radiometric observations, to perform mesoscale altimetry (GEROS experiment onboard the ISS), and soil moisture retrievals. His research interests are focused in microwave remote sensing, with special emphasis in microwave radiometry by aperture synthesis techniques, remote sensing using signals of opportunity (GNSS-R), and small satellites as platforms to test new remote sensing concepts, such as 3Cat-2, a 6U CubeSat with the first dual-frequency dual-polarization GNSS-R payload, launched in August 2016, and 3Cat-1, a 1U CubeSat with 7 small technology demonstrators and scientific payloads. He has published over 160 papers in peer-reviewed journals, about 340 international conference presentations, holds 10 patents, and has advised 22 Ph. D. Thesis students, and more than 120 final project and M.S. Theses. His publications have received nearly 5000 citations, and he has received a number of awards in recognition of his contributions to remote sensing using microwave radiometry and GNSS-R. He has served in a number of positions in the GRSS AdCom and in 2017 he will be the IEEE GRSS President.
