Stuart F. Biggar

Stuart F. Biggar serves as a Research Professor at the Wyant College of Optical Sciences, University of Arizona, specializing in optical sciences and remote sensing technologies for spacecraft and aircraft applications.

His educational background includes:

• Ph.D. from The University of Arizona (1990)
• M.S. from The University of Arizona (1989)
• M.S. from Ohio State University (1972)
• B.S. from United States Air Force Academy (1971)

Dr. Biggar's research centers on optical system design, evaluation, and absolute radiometric calibration for remote sensing platforms. He is a key contributor to the Remote Sensing Group where his work ensures precision in reflectance measurement and sensor characterization. His expertise bridges theoretical optical engineering with practical implementation for Earth and space observation systems.

The Remote Sensing Group under his involvement develops calibration methodologies critical for maintaining data integrity across airborne and spaceborne optical sensors, directly supporting environmental monitoring and planetary science missions.
