Fabio Del Frate received a degree in Electronic Engineering in 1992 and a PhD in Computer Science in 1997, both from the Tor Vergata University of Rome, Italy. From September 1995 to June 1996, he served as Visiting Scientist with the Research Laboratory of Electronics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA. Since 1999, he has been at Tor Vergata University, where he is currently an Associate Professor and where he teaches courses on remote sensing and applied electromagnetism in various Master's and PhD programs. In the framework of remote sensing educational international activities, he has been a lecturer at European universities (e.g., Prague, Trier, etc.). He is the author of more than 200 international scientific publications, with a special focus on feature extraction algorithms from EO data using neural networks. He has been a session organizer and served on technical boards of international conferences and workshops focused on geoscience and remote sensing. He has been Associate Editor for the journal Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters and a Guest Editor for the journals EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing and Remote Sensing. Currently, he is a member of the scientific section board of the journal Remote Sensing for the topic Remote Sensing Image Processing. He is a senior member of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society where he is also a member of the Image Analysis and Data Fusion Technical Committee.
