Kun-Shan Chen (Fellow, IEEE) received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from The University of Texas at Arlington in 1990. Between 1992 and 2023, he held a professorship at various prestigious institutions, including the National Central University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Starting in 2024, he has been affiliated with the Institute of Space Earth Science at Nanjing University, China.
Dr. Chen authored and co-authored over 200 journal articles, ten book chapters, and several authored or co-authored books, including “Microwave Scattering and Emission Models for Users” (with A. K. Fung, Artech House, 2010), “Principles of Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging: A System Simulation Approach” (CRC Press, 2015), “Radar Scattering and Imaging of Rough Surfaces: Modeling and Applications With MATLAB” (CRC Press, 2020), and and Moon-Based Synthetic Aperture Radar: A Signal Processing Prospect (with Zhen Xu, CRC Press, 2024). His research interests include microwave remote sensing theory, modeling, systems, measurements, and electromagnetic sensing techniques. He has been a member of Academia Europaea, serving on the IEEE GRSS Adcom from 2010 to 2014, and receiving the prestigious 2021 IEEE GRSS Fawwaz Ulaby Distinguished Achievement Award. He was also instrumental in founding the GRSS Taipei Chapter and played key roles in organizing various technical committees and editorial boards within IEEE, including deputy editor-in-chief for IEEE Transactions on Geoscience. His contributions extend to guest editorships for notable IEEE publications and serving on editorial boards for Proceedings of the IEEE and IEEE Access.
