Alessandro Burini

Alessandro Burini was born in 1980 in Brescia. In February 2005, he received the Laurea (second level) in Telecommunication Engineering with Summa Cum Laude from the Tor Vergata University, Rome, defending the thesis entitled "A new fronteer for precision farming: Backscatter sensitivity to grapes", carried out at the European Space Agency (ESA/ESRIN). He presently pursues his PhD in GeoInformation at the Tor Vergata University.

After his graduation, he joined GEO-K where he acts as Remote Sensing Engineer; he was involved in land cover project (GSE Land), SAR acquisition campaign (Bacchus DOC, ESA-DLR) and ozone retrieval (OZONE 3D). He has got also experience in ship detection, automatic calibration tool for SAR Images, G.I.S. and multi-sensor processing. A main branch of his research concerns the use of SAR data (multi temporal, multi frequency, polarimetric, very-high resolution) to retrieve plant biomass and soil parameters.
