Biography
Ramon Hanssen is Antoni van Leeuwenhoek professor in Geodesy and Satellite Earth Observation. He studied aerospace engineering and geodetic engineering at Delft University of Technology (M.Sc. 1993). In 1994, he worked as a researcher on potential field data inversion at the International Institute for Aerospace Surveys and Earth Sciences (ITC). In 1995, he returned to TU Delft to start his PhD research on the geodetic analysis of repeat-pass spaceborne radar interferometry, with emphasis on error propagation. During this research, he worked as a visiting scholar at Stuttgart University (1996), at the German Aerospace Center (DLR, 1997) and at Stanford University (1997-1998) on a Fulbright research fellowship. In 2001 he received the PhD degree (cum laude). At present, he is working in the field of radar remote sensing, geodesy and geostatistics at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences.
