Sten Schmidl Søbjærg (M’99) received the M.Sc.E.E. and the Ph.D. degrees from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark, in 1996 and 2003, respectively. He is currently an Associate Professor with the Microwave Remote Sensing section within the DTU-Space Department. His research has been concentrated on microwave radiometers and their applications. He participated in the development of an airborne fully polarimetric dual frequency scanning radiometer system for 16 GHz and 34 GHz in order to determine wind direction over the ocean. Since 2001, he has been working with the EMIRAD L-band polarimetric radiometer featuring advanced digital detection, and he has participated in several airborne campaigns for preparation, calibration, and validation for the ESA/Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity mission. His special interest is devoted to accurate instrument calibration and data quality assessment, including detection and mitigation of RF interference.
