Cosimo Putignano

 

C. Putignano was born in Alberobello (Bari) on 8 March 1978. He received the Laurea (second level) in Telecommunications Engineering Summa Cum Laude from the Tor Vergata University, Roma, defending the thesis entitled "SAR Polarimetry for unsupervised classification: Entropy, Anisotropy, alpha angle method". He presently pursues his PhD in GeoInformation at the Tor Vergata University. His research project concerns the classification of Polarimetric SAR data.

His main interests are electronics engineering and radar systems and has been active in the development of electronic devices for defense applications. He has been involved in the land cover projects named Kyoto-INV, GSE Forest Monitoring and GSE Land. Presently he is with GEO-K, a Tor Vergata University spin-off company with incubation by ESA/ESRIN,Frascati, specializing in Earth observation, where he acts as an analyst of Remote Sensing images.
