Researcher

Ajeet Kumar received his PhD degree in the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, in October 2019. Currently, he works as a full-time Researcher (Researcher Level IV) with the CNIT – National Laboratory of Radar and Surveillance Systems (RaSS), Italy. He has more than eight years of experience in working with real Satellite datasets for Earth and Planetary observations. From 2014 to 2017, he worked with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) mission of Radar Imaging Satellites (RISAT-1), which was the first earth observatory satellite in the world that produced hybrid-polarimetry SAR datasets. Further, he was also involved in another ISRO space-borne mission of Chandrayaan-2 (CH-2), where he established a highly accurate dielectric estimation model for the lunar regolith. Since 2021, he has been working on the Office of Naval Research Global (ONR Global) sponsored project of ATR by means of Polarimetric ISAR Images and multi-view 3D InISAR. Dr Kumar’s research interests include Polarimetric SAR (PolSAR), Hybrid-Polarimetry SAR (Hybrid-pol SAR), Interferometry SAR (InSAR), and Inverse SAR (ISAR) based radar applications. He published fifteen SCI journal papers and various reputed conferences with his name. Also, he serves as a reviewer for various journals of IEEE, IET, Elsevier, Taylor & Francis, and MDPI. He is recently elevated to senior grade member of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI) for his vital contribution as a radio scientist. Also, he is the recipient of a prestigious YSA (Young Scientist Award) given by the side of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI).
