Tazio Strozzi

Tazio Strozzi (Senior Member, IEEE) received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from the University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland, in 1993 and 1996, respectively, for his experimental and theoretical studies on the backscattering characteristics of snow and vegetation. He has been with Gamma Remote Sensing, Gümligen, Switzerland, since 1996, where he is responsible for the development of radar remote sensing applications and is the manager of a number of research and commercial projects. From 1996 to 1998, he was a part-time Physics Teacher at the Highschool of Bellinzona, Bellinzona, Switzerland. From 1999 to 2001, he worked as a part-time Visiting Scientist with the University of Wales, Swansea, U.K. His activities include synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and SAR interferometry for land use applications (including permafrost, forest, snow cover, and hazard mapping) and differential SAR interferometry for subsidence monitoring, glacier motion estimation, and landslide surveying.
