Fabrizio Berizzi received the Electronic Engineering Laurea and PhD degrees from the University of Pisa (Italy) in 1990 and 1994 respectively. He has been a full Professor of the Univ. of Pisa since Nov. 2009. He teaches "Radar techniques", "Signal Theory" at the Univ. of Pisa", and "Digital signal processing" at the Italian Navy Academic. He is a IEEE Senior member since 2006. He has been working on ISAR, SAR and radar systems since 1990. More than 200 papers, three chapters of books and a book on radar imaging have been published. Since 1992 Prof. Berizzi has been involved in several scientific projects as a Principal Investigator funded by Univ. Ministry, Defence Ministry, Italian and European Space Agencies, Industries, Tuscany region, ESA (European Space Agency), European Defense Agency. Prof. FabrizioBerizzi is the vice-director of the (Radar and Surveillance Systems) National Laboratory of CNIT since Dec. 2010.
Marco Martorella received his Laurea degree in Telecommunication Engineering in 1999 (cum laude) and his PhD in Remote Sensing in 2003, both at the University of Pisa. He is now an Associate Professor at the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Pisa where he lectures "Fundamentals of Radar" and "Digital Communications" and an external Professor at the University of Cape Town where he lectures "High Resolution and Imaging Radar" within the "Masters in Radar and Electronic Defence". He is a regular visiting Professor at the University of Adelaide and at the University of Queensland in Australia. He is author of about 150 international journal and conference papers, three book chapters and a book entitled "Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging: Principles, Algorithms and Applications". He has presented several tutorials at international radar conferences and organised a special issue on Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar for the Journal of Applied Signal Processing. He is a member of the IET Radar Sonar and Navigation Editorial Board, a senior member of the IEEE and a member of AFCEA. He is also chair of the NATO SET-196 on "Multichannel/Multistatic radar imaging of non-cooperative targets" and co-chair of the NATO ET-093 on "Robust compressive sensing techniques for radar and ESM applications". He has been recipient of the 2008 Italy-Australia Award for young researchers, the 2010 Best Reviewer for the IEEE GRSL and the IEEE 2013 Fred Nathanson Memorial Radar Award. His research interests are mainly in the field of radar imaging, including passive, multichannel, multistatic and polarimetric radar imaging.
Elisa Giusti received the Telecommunication Engineering Laurea (cum laude) and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pisa (Italy) in 2006 and 2010, respectively. She is a researcher at the RaSS(Radar and Surveillance System) National Laboratory of CNIT (National Inter-University Consortium for Telecommunications). She has been involved as a researcher in several projects funded by Italian ministries (Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Economic Development, etc.) and European organisations (EDA, ESA) since 2009. She is a co-author of several papers and a book chapter. Her research interests are mainly in the field of radar imaging, including active, passive, bistatic and multistatic, polarimetric radar.
