Biography:

Dr. Marco Tedesco received his 'Laurea' degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Napoli 'Federico II' (Italy) in May 1999. In October 1999 he joined the Microwave Remote Sensing Group of the Institute of Applied Physics 'Carrara' of the Italian National Research Council (CNR), Firenze, Italy with a one year appointment (scholarship) for the development and validation of techniques for microwave remote sensing of natural surfaces. In 2000, he was visiting scientist of the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) in Beijing (Prof. Chao Wang) and of the Fudan University (Prof. Ya-Qiu Jin), Shanghai. In February 2004 he obtained his Ph.D. in Methods and Techniques for Environment Engineering (February 2004) from the Institute of Applied Physics 'Carrara' with the thesis titled 'Microwave Remote Sensing of Snow'. In 2002, he was invited student at the Space Laboratory of the Helsinki University of Technology, and in 2001 he attended the School on Hydrological Model Forecasting (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT). He also collaborated with the Group of Interaction between Electromagnetic Fields and Matter of the Institute of Research on Electromagnetic Waves (IROE) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR). In June 2004, he joined the Goddard Earth Sciences and Technology Center at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, as a member of the research faculty. In August 2005 he was the recipient of a NASA Outstanding PostDoc/Research Associate Peer Award and on October of the same year Dr. Tedesco received the Young Scientist URSI Award during the URSI International Conference in New Delhi 24-28 Oct. 2005. Dr. Tedesco is Member of IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society, of the American Geophysical Union Society, of the Technical Committee of Frequency Allocation in Remote Sensing (FARS) of the GRSS and he serves as reviewer for the IEEE TGARS and GRSL, Remote Sensing of Environment, Hydrological Processes, Geophysical Research Letters and the Journal of Scanning Microscopies
