Advances in Geoscience and Remote Sensing Technology

Josaphat Tetuko Sri Sumantyo received his B.Eng. and M.Eng. degrees in electrical and computer engineering (subsurface radar systems) from Kanazawa University, Japan, in 1995 and 1997, respectively, and was awarded his Ph.D. degree in artificial system sciences (applied radio wave and radar systems) from Chiba University, Japan, in 2002. He was affiliated with the Center for Frontier Electronics and Photonics (Venture Business Laboratory), Chiba University, as a lecturer (post-doctoral fellowship researcher) from 2002 to 2005. He then became an associate professor (permanent staff) at the Center for Environmental Remote Sensing (CEReS), Chiba University, from 2005 to 2013, where he is currently a full professor (permanent staff). His research interests include theoretical scattering microwave analysis and its applications to microwave (radar) remote sensing, especially synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and subsurface radar (VLF), including DInSAR and PS-InSAR; the analysis and design of antennas for mobile satellite communications and microwave sensors; and the development of microwave sensors, including SAR for unmanned aerial vehicle and microsatellite development.
