Ivana Zinno

Ivana Zinno was born in Naples, Italy, in 1980. She received the Laurea degree (summa cum laude) in telecommunication engineering and the Ph.D. degree in electronic and telecommunication engineering from the University of Naples Federico II, Naples, in 2008 and 2011, respectively. In 2011, she received a grant from the University of Naples to be spent at the Department of Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering for research in the field of remote sensing. Since 2012, she has been with the IREA-National Research Council, Naples, where she is currently a Researcher. In 2017, she has been a Visiting Scientist with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, USA. She currently focuses on the development of advanced differential synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry (DInSAR) techniques for surface deformation time series generation and on the exploitation of distributed computing architectures (grid and cloud computing platforms) for big SAR data processing. Her research interests include microwave remote sensing; in particular they concern DInSAR applications, with particular emphasis on novel generation satellite constellations such as Sentinel-1, and, more generally, the information retrieval from SAR data by also exploiting fractal models.
