Dear Colleagues,

Danfeng Hong received his MSc degree (summa cum laude) in computer vision from the College of Information Engineering, Qingdao University, Qingdao, China, in 2015, and his PhD (summa cum laude) from the Signal Processing in Earth Observation (SiPEO), Technical University of Munich (TUM), Munich, Germany, in 2019.

He is currently a professor at the Key Laboratory of Computational Optical Imaging Technology, Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Before joining CAS, he was a Research Scientist and led a Spectral Vision Working Group at the Remote Sensing Technology Institute (IMF), German Aerospace Center (DLR), Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany. He was also an Adjunct Scientist at GIPSA-lab, Grenoble INP, CNRS, Univ. Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble, France. His research interests include signal/image processing, hyperspectral remote sensing, machine/deep learning, artificial intelligence, and their applications in Earth Vision.

Dr. Hong is an Editorial Board Member of Remote Sensing and a Topical Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing (TGRS). He was a recipient of the Best Reviewer Award of the IEEE TGRS in 2021 and the Jose Bioucas Dias award for his outstanding paper at the Workshop on Hyperspectral Imaging and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing (WHISPERS) in 2021. He is also a Leading Guest Editor of the International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations, and Remote Sensing.

Kind regards,
Remote Sensing Editorial Office
