ヨサファット テトォコ スリ スマンティヨ

Josaphat Tetuko Sri Sumantyo (IEEE Senior Member) was born in Bandung, Indonesia on 25 June 1970. He received a Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng). and Master of Engineering (M.Eng) degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Kanazawa University, Japan in 1995 and 1997, respectively (Subsurface Radar Systems), and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Artificial System Sciences (Applied Radio Wave and Radar Systems) from Chiba University, Japan in 2002. From 1990 to 1999, he was a Researcher with the Agency for Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), Jakarta. He was with the Center for Frontier Electronics and Photonics (Venture Business Laboratory), Chiba University, Japan as a Lecturer (Post Doctoral Fellowship Researcher) from 2002 to 2005.
He was an Associate Professor (permanent staff) at the Center for Environmental Remote Sensing (CEReS), Chiba University from 2005 to 2013, then a Full Professor (permanent staff) at the same center from 2013 to now. He is also a academic staff at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Indonesia since 2020.
He is a member of international and domestic organizations, and a reviewer of journals, and organizations. He promoted many students from around the world and as a Visiting Lecturer/Professor in many Universities etc. He is Head of the Department of Environmental Remote Sensing and Head of the Division of Earth Environmental Sciences, Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Chiba University from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020. and 1 April 2022 to present.
His main interests are theoretically scattering microwave analysis and its applications in microwave (radar) remote sensing, especially synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and subsurface radar (VLF) including InSAR, DInSAR, PS-InSAR, and Polarimetric SAR, analysis and design of antennas for mobile satellite communications and microwave sensors, development of microwave sensors including various polarized SAR sensor for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV, drone), aircraft, stratosphere platform, and microsatellite development.
He manages Josaphat Microwave Remote Sensing Laboratory (JMRSL, http://www.cr.chiba-u.jp/lab /Josaphat-laboratory/), Center for Environmental Remote Sensing (CEReS), Chiba University, Japan since 2005. His laboratory promotes education and research to develop international technologies and sciences. He always encourages undergraduate and postgraduate students to know the microwave phenomenons and to be familiar with the interaction between microwave and natural matters (i.e. vegetation, artificial materials, earth surface, snow), therefore they could develop original methods or sensors during studying in the courses.
He manages several student and research staff exchanges between Japan and overseas institutions, i.e. Short Stay Program, Long Stay Program, TWINCLE, Double Degree Program, JST Sakura Science Program, etc, i.e. Indonesia, Malaysia, Korea, Egypt, Canada, Germany, Austria, China, etc. He is also a Visiting Professor and Adjunct Professor at the University of Indonesia, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Ajou University Korea, etc, and a Councilor of Satoh Yo International Scholarship Foundation (SISF) and Atsumi International Foundation (AIF), Japan, etc to promote exchange students between Japan and South East Asia and South Asia, advisor of SMA Pradhita Dirgantara (high school) Surakarta for excellent student program and exchange program with Japan academic institutions, and Osaka Tennoji High School for Super Science High School Program.
Prof. Sri Sumantyo is a Member of the IEEE, IEICE, JSPRS, and RSSJ. He is the recipient of many awards and research grants related to his study and research, and he published 16 books and more than 1000 papers in journals, conferences, invited talks, and reports. He established Symposium on Microsatellite for Remote Sensing, Indonesia Japan Joint Scientific Symposium, and a Workshop on Synthetic Aperture Radar Image Processing, etc to promote the IEEE activities on Microwave Remote Sensing in Asian countries. He is the General Chair of IEEE GRSS supported by The 7th Asia-Pacific Conference on Synthetic Aperture Radar (APSAR 2021) and the 8th APSAR 2023 at Bali, Indonesia, and more than 330 Invited Talks and Lectures related to synthetic aperture radar and its applications. He is co-leader of the Working Group on Remote Sensing Instrumentation and Technologies for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles of IEEE GRSS, Technical Committee on Instrumentation and Future Technologies (IFT-TC). He is an Associate Editor of IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters (GRSL) since March 2021 and Associate Editor of IEEE Antennas, Wireless and Propagation Letters (AWPL) since January 2023.
