Domenico Solimini

is a full professor of Engineering with the Tor Vergata University, Rome, Italy. He has given courses on Antennas and Propagation (since 1966), Remote Sensing (since 1975) and Electromagnetic Fields (since 1979). His Remote Sensing course was the first of its kind in the Italian universities and the GeoInformation PhD he chairs is an innovative multi-disciplinary programme with emphasys on Remote Sensing and its applications.

He has been dean of the Electronics Engineering and Environmental Engineering Faculty Councils, has chaired the Computer, Systems and Production Engineering Department and is dean of the GeoInformation PhD Faculty Council of the Tor Vergata Doctoral School.

His research activity has been concerned with lasers, microwave antennas, microwave and millimeter-wave propagation, microwave medical imaging and passive and active remote sensing of both the Earth's atmosphere and the land surface. He has authored and co-authored about 300 publications, including about 250 papers in refereed international journals, books and conference proceedings. He supervises the Tor Vergata Earth Observation Laboratory.
He has been principal investigator and co-investigator of several international remote sensing projects and has coordinated the Concerted Action named European Radar- Optical Research Assemblage (ERA-ORA) within the European Fourth Framework Programme, involving institutions from eight European Countries and the European Space Agency.

He served as General Chairman of the Fourth Specialist Meetings on Microwave Radiometry and Remote Sensing, and has been a member of the Steering and Scientific Committees for many conferences. He acted as a reviewer for several international journals.

He has been an Italian member of the International Union of Radio Science Commission F, of AEI and is a senior member of the IEEE. He has been chairman of the Central and South Italy Section of the IEEE and of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society Chapter.
He was the recipient of the 2005 IEEE GRSS Education Award, “in recognition of his significant educational contributions to Geoscience and Remote Sensing.”

In 2006 Domenico Solimini co-founded GEO-K, a high-tech geoinformation company, spin-off of Tor vergata University.
