Francesca Bovolo

Francesca Bovolo received the B.S., the M.S. (summa cum laude) degrees in telecommunication engineering and the Ph.D. in Communication and Information Technologies from the University of Trento, Italy, in 2001, 2003 and 2006, respectively where she has been a research fellow until June 2013. She is the founder and the head of the Remote Sensing for Digital Earth unit at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK), Trento, Italy since July 2013. Her main research interests are in remote-sensing image processing, signal processing, and pattern recognition. Her interests are related to multitemporal image analysis, change detection in multispectral, hyperspectral, SAR images, time series analysis, domain adaptation, LiDAR and radar sounder systems. She conducts research and on these topics within the context of several national and international projects. She is the author (or coauthor) of 47 scientific publications in referred international journals (more than 40 in IEEE journals), more than 90 papers in conference proceedings, and 8 book chapters. She is editor/co-editor of 2 conference proceedings and 2 journal special issue. Her paper citations are more than 2900 and result in a value of the h-index of 26 (source: Google Scholar). Dr. Bovolo ranked first place in the Student Prize Paper Competition of the 2006 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (Denver, August 2006). Since January 2011 she is an associate editor of the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing and of the SPIE Journal of Applied Remote Sensing since 2015. She has been guest editor for the Special Issue on “Analysis of Multitemporal Remote Sensing Data” of the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing and for the Special issue on “Analysis of Multi-temporal Remote Sensing Images” of MPDI Remote Sensing. She has been the publication chair for International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium 2015. Since 2014 she is co-chair of the SPIE International Conference on “Signal and Image Processing for Remote Sensing”. She has been the Technical Chair of the Sixth International Workshop on the Analysis of Multi-temporal Remote-Sensing Images (MultiTemp 2011). She is a member of the program and scientific committee of several international conferences and workshops and a referee for several international journals.
