Roberto Fernandez Moran

Roberto Fernandez Moran is a post-doctoral researcher at the School of Engineering, Universitat de València, where he is affiliated with the Department of Electronic Engineering and the Image and Signal Processing (ISP) research group within the ERI Image Processing Laboratory (IPL). His work focuses on remote sensing, particularly in soil moisture and vegetation parameter retrieval from satellite data.

His research interests lie primarily in Earth observation using microwave remote sensing technologies. He specializes in calibration and validation of geophysical parameters from satellite missions such as SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity), with emphasis on soil roughness and vegetation modeling. His expertise spans image and signal processing, satellite data assimilation, and environmental monitoring at both local and global scales.

Roberto completed his doctoral studies at the Universitat de València under the supervision of Dr. Ernesto López-Baeza, Dr. Yann Kerr, and Dr. Jean-Pierre Wigneron. Although specific publications and grants are not listed, his affiliation with the ISP group indicates active participation in national and international research projects related to spaceborne remote sensing and environmental modeling.

He is a member of the ISP (Image and Signal Processing) research group, which operates under the ERI Image Processing Laboratory (IPL) at the Universitat de València. This team focuses on developing advanced signal processing techniques for satellite imagery, particularly for climate, hydrology, and agricultural monitoring applications.
