Armando Marino received his MSc in Telecommunication Engineering at the Universita’ di Napoli “Federico II” in 2006. In 2006, he joined the High Frequency and Radar Systems Department (HR), German Aerospace Centre (DLR), Oberpfaffenhofen where he developed his MSc thesis, which focused on SAR multi-pass retrieval of forest parameters. In 2011, he was awarded his PhD degree at the University of Edinburgh, (School of Geosciences), Edinburgh, UK in the field of polarimetric SAR interferometry. His PhD thesis was awarded “Best PhD Thesis 2011” by the RSPSoc (Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society) and “Outstanding PhD Thesis” by Springer Verlag, which published the thesis in 2012. From March 2011 to October 2011, he was working within the University of Alicante, Institute of Computing Research, Spain. Since December 2011, he is a post-doctorate researcher at the ETH Zürich, Institute of Environmental Engineering, Switzerland.
