Antonio Plaza received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computer engineering from the University of Extremadura, Caceres, Spain. He was a Visiting Researcher with the Remote Sensing Signal and Image Processing Laboratory, University of Maryland Baltimore County, Baltimore, with the Applied Information Sciences Branch, Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD, and with the AVIRIS Data Facility, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA. He is currently an Associate Professor with the Department of Technology of Computers and Communications, University of Extremadura, Caceres, Spain, where he is the Head of the Hyperspectral Computing Laboratory (HyperComp). He was the Coordinator of the Hyperspectral Imaging Network (Hyper-I-Net), a European project designed to build an interdisciplinary research community focused on hyperspectral imaging activities. He has been a Proposal Reviewer with the European Commission, the European Space Agency, and the Spanish Government. He is the author or coauthor of around 300 publications on remotely sensed hyperspectral imaging, including more than 60 Journal Citation Report papers, 20 book chapters, and over 200 conference proceeding papers. His research interests include remotely sensed hyperspectral imaging, pattern recognition, signal and image processing, and efficient implementation of large-scale scientific problems on parallel and distributed computer architectures.
Dr. Plaza has coedited a book on high-performance computing in remote sensing and guest edited seven special issues on remotely sensed hyperspectral imaging for different journals, including the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING (for which he serves as Associate Editor on hyperspectral image analysis and signal processing since 2007), the IEEE JOURNAL OF SELECTED TOPICS IN APPLIED EARTH OBSERVATIONS AND REMOTE SENSING (for which he serves as a member of the steering committee since 2011), the International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications, and the Journal of Real-Time Image Processing. He is also serving as an Associate Editor for the IEEE GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING NEWSLETTER. He has served as a reviewer for more than 280 manuscripts submitted to more than 50 different journals, including more than 140 manuscripts reviewed for the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING. He has served as a Chair for the IEEE Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing in 2011. He has also been serving as a Chair for the SPIE Conference on Satellite Data Compression, Communications, and Processing since 2009, and for the SPIE Remote Sensing Europe Conference on High Performance Computing in Remote Sensing since 2011. Dr. Plaza is a recipient of the recognition of Best Reviewers of the IEEE GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING LETTERS in 2009 and a recipient of the recognition of Best Reviewers of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING in 2010. He is currently serving as Director of Education activities and member of the Administrative Committee of the IEEE GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING SOCIETY.
