معرفی
Bernhard Rabus is a Professor and holder of the Industrial Research Chair in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) at Simon Fraser University's School of Engineering Science. His work focuses on SAR technologies, with emphasis on maritime applications and novel land applications using multi-channel SAR systems. He leads the SARlab and collaborates with institutions like IEEE. Rabus earned his Ph.D. in Geophysics from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and an M.Sc. from the Technical University of Munich. His research integrates advanced interferometric and polarimetric techniques to study glaciers, landslides, and environmental dynamics. Recent projects include landslide deformation analysis, glacier motion tracking, and SAR-based wildlife monitoring. Rabus teaches graduate courses like ENSC895/EASC609 and advises students on SAR applications. His work is funded through industrial and academic partnerships, addressing challenges in geohazard monitoring and remote sensing innovation.
