Adriano Camps:
Biography:
Adriano Camps was born in Barcelona, Spain, in 1969. He received the degree in telecommunications engineering and Ph.D. degree in telecommunications engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona, Spain, in 1992 and 1996, respectively.
Since 1993, he has been with the Electromagnetics and Photonics Engineering Group, Department of Signal Theory and Communications, UPC, where he was first Assistant Professor, Associate Professor in 1997, and Full Professor since 2007. Since 1993, he has been deeply involved in the European Space Agency SMOS Earth Explorer Mission, from the instrument and algorithmic points of view, performing field experiments, and more recently studying the use of GNSS-R techniques to perform the sea state correction needed to retrieve salinity from radiometric observations.
His research interests are focused in microwave remote sensing, with special emphasis in microwave radiometry by aperture synthesis techniques and remote sensing using signals of opportunity (GNSS-R). He has published more than 300 journal papers, and 560 conference presentations.
Hyuk Park:
Biography:
Hyuk Park was born in South Korea. He received the B.S. degree in mechanical engineering from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 2001, and received the M.S. and Ph.D. degree in information and mechatronics from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), Korea, in 2003 and 2009, respectively. His main research interest is in the area of remote sensing, especially passive microwave remote sensing, including system design, modeling and simulation, and image processing. In 2009, he joined the remote sensing group of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), Barcelona, as a postdoctoral researcher. He is a grant holder of NRF funded by the Korean government in 2011. Since 2012, he has been working as a research associate with Grants of Juan de la Cierva funded by Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. Currently, he is working with School of Telecom. and Aerospace Eng. , RSLab in Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC-BarcelonaTech) as a Ramon y Cajal Fellow/Tenure-track Assistant Professor.
Juan Ramos:
Biography:
Prof. Juan Ramos Castro (UPC-IEEC Associate Professor). He is member of the board of directors of the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia (IEEC). His research areas of interest are on the design of ultra-low noise measurement systems with applications into the biomedical and space instrumentation fields. He has been collaborating in the development of the thermal and magnetic subsystems in LISA PathFinder since 2004, and since 2019 he is working on the development of the diagnostics subsystem of the LISA mission. He has participated in the development of low noise magnetic sensors based on resistive elements incorporating new signal conditioning structures to reduce low frequency noise.
He is IP of the IEEC group SmartC3 that develops high integrated payloads for the NewSpace paradigm. He has more than 100 scientific publications with an h-index 21, and he co-inventor or 7 international patents (3 under exploitation). Co-founder of Health&Sportlab, a spin-off from UPC and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
