Biography
Nobuyoshi Imura was born in Japan on Feb. 23, 1948. He received the B.Eng. degrees in Faculty of Engineering, Keio University, Japan in 1970, then he started his career at Mitsubishi Electric Corporation in the same year to develop satellite onboard synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems (JERS-1 SAR, ALOS PALSAR, IGS SAR etc.) , satellite systems (JERS-1, ADEOS, IGS etc.) , ground system and remote sensing system for about 40 years (including Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency to be transferred to later). He is currently as a project manager of small SAR satellite in Center for Environmental Remote Sensing, Chiba University. His main research interests are SAR system, satellite bus system, deployment structure and system, Research and Development (R & D) model of SAR antenna, satellite onboard SAR components. His Remote Sensing Laboratory is also developing unmanned aerial vehicle, small satellite for observation of global disaster and environmental change, scattering wave analysis and its applications in microwave remote sensing etc.
