Francesca Bovolo

Francesca Bovolo received the Laurea (B.S.) degree, the Laurea Specialistica (M.S.) degree (summa cum laude) in telecommunication engineering, and the Ph.D. degree in communication and information technologies from the University of Trento, Trento, Italy, in 2001, 2003, and 2006, respectively. She was a Research Fellow with the University of Trento, until 2013. She is currently the Founder and the Head of Remote Sensing for Digital Earth Unit, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento, and a member of the Remote Sensing Laboratory, Trento. She is one of the co-investigators of the Radar for Icy Moon Exploration instrument of the European Space Agency Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer and of the EnVision mission to Venus. Her research interests include remote-sensing image processing, multitemporal remote sensing image analysis, change detection in multispectral, hyperspectral, and synthetic aperture radar images, and very high-resolution images, time series analysis, content-based time series retrieval, domain adaptation, and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and radar sounders. She conducts research on these topics within the context of several national and international projects. Dr. Bovolo is a member of the program and scientific committee of several international conferences and workshops. She was a recipient of the First Place in the Student Prize Paper Competition of the 2006 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (Denver, 2006). She was the Technical Chair of the Sixth International Workshop on the Analysis of Multitemporal Remote-Sensing Images (MultiTemp 2011, and 2019). She has been a Co-Chair of the SPIE International Conference on Signal and Image Processing for Remote Sensing since 2014. She is the Publication Chair of the International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium in 2015. She has been an Associate Editor of the IEEE JOURNAL OF SELECTED TOPICS IN APPLIED EARTH OBSERVATIONS AND REMOTE SENSING since 2011.
