Zhenhong Li(李振洪)

Zhenhong Li (SM'13) received the B.Sc. degree in geodesy from Wuhan Technical University of Surveying and Mapping (now Wuhan University), Wuhan, China, in 1997, and the Ph.D. degree in geodesy and navigation from the University College London, London, U.K., in 2005. He is a Professor of imaging geodesy with the School of Engineering, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, U.K. He has more than 20 years of research experience in space geodesy and remote sensing (mainly InSAR and GNSS) and their application to geohazards (e.g., earthquakes, landslides, and land subsidence) and precision agriculture. He specializes in development of InSAR atmospheric corrections and time-series algorithms for precisely mapping surface movements, and has made several original contributions to the direct estimation and/or mitigation of the effects of atmospheric water vapour on satellite radar measurements. His recent major achievements include 1) the generation of the first interferogram from Chinese Gaofen-3 mission together with some collaborators, which is also the first interferogram from Chinese civilian radar missions; and 2) the release of Generic Atmospheric Correction Online Service for InSAR. Prof. Li is a Fellow of the International Association of Geodesy and an Associate Editor for Advances in Space Research and Remote Sensing.
