Vahid Akbari received the M.S. degree in Geomatics Engineering (Remote Sensing) with honors from the University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran, in 2009. He is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree in Physics at the University of Tromsø, Norway, with a reasearch focus on land cover change detection with single and multi-polarization SAR imagery. From August to October 2008, he spent a three-month period as a visiting student at Physics of the Earth Department, Geosciences Institute of GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ), Potsdam, Germany, working with VolcanoTectonics research group on combining a variety of geodetic techniques including InSAR, GPS, and leveling to derive accurate estimates of crustal deformation related to natural and man-made processes. From March to July 2011, he was a visiting researcher at the Signal Processing and Telecommunications Research Group (SPT) of the Department of Telecommunications, Electronic, Electrical, and Naval Engineering, University of Genoa, working with the IPRS research group on the problem of contextual MRF-based classification of POLSAR data. His main research interets are in Synthetic Aperture Radar, SAR Polarimetry and SAR Interferometry.
