Editors and ContributorsxxiiiDr. Pierfrancesco LombardoChapter 17 – Advanced Processing Methods for Passive Bistatic Radar SystemsPierfrancesco Lombardo received the laurea degree in electronic engineering and the Ph.D. degreefrom the University of Rome “La Sapienza,” Rome, Italy, in 1991 and 1995, respectively. Hismain research interests are in adaptive radar signal processing, radar clutter modelling, monoandmulti-channel coherent radar signal processing, SAR image processing and radio-locationsystems. In such areas, he has been Project Manager of a number of research project funded bythe European Union, the Italian Space Agency, the Italian Ministry of Research and the Italianradar industry. His research has been reported in over 200 publications in international technicaljournals and conferences. Prof. Lombardo is member of the IEEE AES Radar System Panel, theEditorial board of IET Proceedings on Radar Sonar & Navigation, and is associate Editor forRadar Systems for IEEE Trans. on Aerospace and Electronic Systems since June 2001. He ismember of the Scientific Committee of SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research) EuropeanCommission & Eurocontrol.Dr. Krishna NaishadhamChapter 13 – Introduction to Radar PolarimetryKrishna Naishadham received the M.S. degree from Syracuse University, and the Ph.D. fromthe University of Mississippi, both in Electrical Engineering, in 1982 and 1987, respectively. Heserved on the faculty of Electrical Engineering for 15 years at the University of Kentucky, WrightState University (tenured Professor), and Syracuse University (Adjunct Professor). In 2002, hejoined Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory as a Research. In 2008, hejoined Georgia Institute of Technology, where he is currently a Research Professor in the School ofElectrical and Computer Engineering. His research interests include novel multifunctional antennadesign, antenna miniaturization and electronic packaging for wireless handheld devices, wearableantennas and sensors, RFID integration of sensor nodes, and carbon nanotube based chemicalsensors. Dr. Naishadham published four Book Chapters and over 150 papers in professionaljournals and conference proceedings on topics related to computational EM, high-frequencyasymptotic methods, antenna design, EMC, materials characterization and wave-oriented signalprocessing. He is currently the Chair of the Joint IEEE AP/MTT Chapter at Atlanta and serves onthe Technical Program Committee for the International Microwave Symposium. He served as anAssociate Editor for the Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society (ACES) Journal, and iscurrently an Associate editor of the International Journal of Microwave Science and Technology.Mr. Jason T. ParkerChapter 5 – Radar Applications of Sparse Reconstruction and Compressed SensingJason T. Parker received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical and computer engineering fromThe Ohio State University, Columbus, in 2004 and 2006, respectively. Since 2006, he has beena research engineer with the Sensors Directorate of the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory. Heis concurrently pursuing the Ph.D. in electrical engineering at The Ohio State University. Hisresearch interests include compressive sensing, adaptive signal processing, and inverse problems,with applications to radar target detection and imaging. He is a member of IEEE and both the EtaKappa Nu and Tau Beta Pi engineering honor societies.
