Speaker:Prof. Josaphat Tetuko SRI SUMANTYO (Chiba University)

Time and Date: 9:30-11:30, Dec. 4, 2014

Place: Room 1101, Guanghua East Main Building, Handan Campus

 

 

Abstract

Chiba University plans to hold orbital experiment to investigate relationship between Ionospheric phenomenon and global land deformation using GNSS-Radio Occultation (RO) and Electron Density - Temperature Probe (EDTP) onboard GAIA-I microsatellite (50 kg class) and Circularly Polarized Synthetic Aperture Radar (CP-SAR) onboard GAIA-II (100 kg class). GNSS signal employs GPS, GLONASS, KOMPASS, Galileo, and QZS. We also plan to use signal of O3B (Ka-band) that it is the first experiment in the world to hold RO experiment using telecommunication satellite O3B. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV, JX series) also is developed for ground test of our sensors. We promote human resource development, especially domestic and overseas young scientists in field of microwave sensor, UAV, and microsatellite.

 

 

Biography

Prof Sumantyo was born in Sulaiman Special Force Airbase – Indonesian National Air Force Hospital, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia in 1970. He received the B.Eng. and M.Eng. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Kanazawa University, Japan in 1995 and 1997, respectively (Subsurface Radar Systems) and the Ph.D. degree in Artificial System Sciences (Applied Radio Wave and Radar Systems) from Chiba University, Japan in 2002. From 1990 to 1999, he was a Researcher with the Agency for Assessment and Application of Technology, Jakarta. He was with the Center for Frontier Electronics and Photonics (Venture Business Laboratory), Chiba University, Japan as a Lecturer (Post Doctoral Fellowship Researcher) from 2002 to 2005. He was an Associate Professor (permanent staff) at the Center for Environmental Remote Sensing (CEReS), Chiba University from 2005 to 2013, then Full Professor (permanent staff) at the same center from 2013 to now, and as a Visiting Lecturer/Professor in many Universities.

His main interests are theoretically scattering microwave analysis and its applications in microwave (radar) remote sensing, especially synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and subsurface radar (VLF) including DInSAR and PSInSAR, analysis and design of antennas for mobile satellite communications and microwave sensors, development of microwave sensors including SAR for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and microsatellite development.
