Wolfgang Wagner was borne in Wels, Austria, in 1969. He received the
Dipl.-Ing. (MSc) degree in physics and the Dr.techn. (PhD) degree in
remote sensing, both with excellence, from the Vienna University of
Technology (TU Wien), Austria, in 1995 and 1999 respectively.
In support of his master and PhD studies he received fellowships to
carry research at the University of Bern (1993), Atmospheric Environment
Service Canada (1994), NASA Goddard Space Flight Centre (1995), European
Space Agency (1996), and the Joint Research Centre of the European
Commission (1996-1998). From 1999 to 2001 he was with the German
Aerospace Agency (DLR), first as a project assistant at the Institute of
High Frequency Technology and later as the head of the SAR Applications
team at the German Remote Sensing Data Centre. In 2001 he was appointed
professor for remote sensing at the Institute of Photogrammetry and
Remote Sensing of TU Wien. Since 2005 he has been coordinator of the
Geodesy and Geoinformation group of the Faculty of Mathematics and
Geoinformation. Since 2006 he has been the head of the Institute of
Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing and member of the Senate of the Vienna
University of Technology.
The main research interest of Wolfgang Wagner lies in physical modeling
and geophysical parameter retrieval from remote sensing data. His scope
is to develop robust algorithms, taking into account instrument
specifications and application requirements. He has mostly worked with
active remote sensing techniques, in particular scatterometry, SAR and
airborne laser scanning (lidar), even though he has also some experience
with optical and infrared sensors. Since 2003 Wolfgang Wagner has been
member of the Science Advisory Group of METOP ASCAT which is jointly
organized by EUMETSAT and ESA. In 2004 he was also invited to join the
Science Advisory Group for the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS)
satellite of ESA. In the period 2005 to 2008 he served as committee
chair of the EGU Hydrologic Sciences Sub-Division on Remote Sensing &
Data Assimilation. From 2008 to 2012 he serves as president of
Commission VII of the International Society of Photogrammetry and Remote
Sensing. In 2009 he became co-chair of the Land Product Validation
Subgroup on soil moisture within the CEOS Working Group on Calibration
and Validation. He has been committee member of several international
conference, such as the Earth Observation and Water Cycle Science
Conference 2009 jointly organized by ESA, EGU, ISPRS and GEWEX, or the
ISPRS Workshops on Laserscanning 2007 and 2009. He is editor-in-chief of
the Open Access Journal "Remote Sensing" (since 2009) and member of the
editorial board of the Open Access Journal "Hydrology and Earth System
Sciences" (since 2007). |
