Steven Dewitte

Steven Dewitte received the diploma of civil engineer in electromechanics and the Ph.D. degree in applied sciences from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Brussels, Belgium, in 1992 and 1998, respectively. His Ph.D. thesis was on the subject of derivation of the earth radiation budget data from Meteosat images. He is currently with the remote sensing from space group at the Royal Meteorological Institue of Belgium (RMIB), Brussels. He is a member of the GERB, CERES, ScaRaB, and VIRGO science teams, as well as a Co-Investigator for SOLCON. In 1998, he became an Assistant with the Department of Electronics, VUB. During this period, his main scientific research interests were in the field of the wavelet transform and Meteosat image processing, more specifically image compression and cloud motion detection. He currently works at RMIB on the definition and implementation of the real-time GERB ground segment software, combined with part-time lecturing in electronics at VUB.
