Riccardo Duca
Riccardo Duca
was born in Palestrina (Rome) on 18 August 1978. He received the Laurea in
Telecommunication Engineering at Tor Vergata University in Rome on 7July 2004,
defending the graduation thesis with the title "Observation of the sea-ice
condition and the polynya in Terra Nova Bay by the use of ASAR Wide Swath
images". The thesis was the consequence of a six months stage period
at ESA/ESRIN in Frascati (Rome).
After the thesis he started the PhD in GeoInformation at Tor Vergata University
concerning the processing, the atmospheric correction, the elaboration and
the neural network classification of the new hyperspectral CHRIS/Proba images.
He is also involved in thematics related to the SAR elaboration, the G.I.S
integration and virtual environment development and about the use of multipsectral
HR and VHR images. He is pursuing his PhD course at ESRIN as "visiting
scientist", giving technical and scientific support to several ESA activities
related to the educational programs, the tsunami data set package preparation
( http://earth.esa.int/applications/tsunamidata/)
and the testing of BEST and Bilko software.
Now he is completing the PhD studies at ESA/ESTEC (Netherland) on the Wave
Interaction & Propagation Section and he is involved on the activities
concerning the planning, the simulation and the optimization of the multispectral
GMES Sentinel 2 Mission .
