Title：Electromagnetic Models in Radar Remote sensing of Vegetated Surfaces for  SMAP (Soil Moisture Active and Passive Satellite Mission) Applications

Lecturer：Professor Leung Tsang, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA

Professor Leung Tsang received the SB degree in 1971, the SM, EE degrees in 1973 and the Ph.D. degree in 1976, all from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has been a Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington since 1986. He was the President of IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society for the 2-year term 2006-2007. Since April 2008, he has been the President of the Electromagnetics Academy. Between 2001-2004, he was on leave from University of Washington and was with the Department of Electronic Engineering of the City University of Hong Kong. His current research interests are in remote sensing, wave scattering and propagation in random media, high frequency interconnects, and computational electromagnetics. ？Detailed biography
