Stefano Tebaldini, Ph.D., received the master degree in Telecommunication Engineering and the Ph.D. degree from Politecnico di Milano in 2005 and 2009, respectively. Since 2005, he has been with the Digital Signal Processing Research Group at Politecnico di Milano. He has held the position of Associate Professor at the Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria at Politecnico di Milano since 2018.

His research is mostly focused on remote sensing of the Earth using Radar technology. His research activities include the development of new processing techniques for Radar imaging and calibration, as well as scientific investigations on the physical properties of natural media based on their interaction with EM waves.

Development activities include two- and three-dimensional Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image formation, spaceborne, airborne, and ground-based Radar data processing, sensor calibration, accurate platform localization, synchronization recovery, ionospheric correction, Radar polarimetry, single and multi-pass SAR Interferometry over natural targets.

His experience concerning scientific analysis of natural media include boreal, temperate, and tropical forests, snowpack, ice sheets, and glaciers.

Stefano Tebaldini has been working in the frame of international studies funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) since 2007, covering the roles of key scientist, responsible for Politecnico di Milano, and study coordinator.

In 2017 he was the Lead Proposer of the spaceborne mission PARSIFAL, proposed in response to the revised 9th Call for Earth Explorers by ESA.

He has been a member of two advisory groups at ESA, tasked with providing technical and scientific advice on the spaceborne missions BIOMASS (2016-today) and SAOCOM-CS (2014-2016).

He authored over 30 papers published on peer reviewed international journals, over 70 conference papers, one monograph on multi-baseline SAR imaging, one book chapter on multi-baseline SAR Interferometry and another on remote sensing of forest scenarios.

He has been giving lectures and seminars abroad since 2011, visiting several research and academic institutes in Europe, U.S., and China.

Since 2014, he has been teaching the course “Signals and Systems for Remote Sensing” at Politecnico di Milano.
