Biography
Dr. Stepinski is the Thomas Jefferson Chair Professor of Space Exploration in Department of Geography at the University of Cincinnati. He has joined UC in Fall 2010 after 20 years of working for NASA-funded Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, TX. He is a leading geoscientist in the area of automated detection and characterization of landforms from remotely sensed spatial data sets. He and his collaborators pioneered methods for auto-surveys of craters and auto-mapping of valley networks on Mars using digital terrain data. His current research focuses on extending these methods to a larger set of imagery data, including terrestrial data. The tools he has developed are available online at sil.uc.edu. Stepinski received the M.Sc. degree in astrophysics from Warsaw University and the Ph.D. degree in Applied Mathematics from University of Arizona. He has published over 90 peer-reviewed publications and has been funded by several programs within NASA and NSF. His detailed interests includes:
