コヤマ クリスチャン

Christian N. Koyama received his Dipl. degree and Ph.D. degree (with honors) in goesciences and remote sensing from the University of Cologne, Germany, in 2007 and 2012, respectively. From 2013 to 2016, he was a postdoc research fellow with the Center for Northeast Asian Studies (CNEAS) at Tohoku University, where he developed a polarimetric UWB GB-SAR system for the detection of earthquake-induced damages in wooden building structures. Since June 2016, he has been an assistant professor with the School of Science and Engineering at Tokyo Denki University (TDU). As a JICA-JAXA project researcher, he is currently involved in the development of an ALOS-2 based early warning system to battle deforestation in the tropics. His main research interests focus on radar remote sensing including quantitative parameter estimation for geoscience applications and disaster mitigation, radar polarimetry, near-range imaging and stereo-SAR.
