September 11, 2017
Professor Yoshio Yamaguchi of the Faculty of Engineering received the 2017 Distinguished Achievement Award of the IEEE Geoscience Remote Sensing Society, an international academic society. The only one person in the entire world who has contributed the most to earth science and remote sensing fields over the course of several years is elected annually. Professor Yamaguchi was the first Japanese to receive this spectacular award. He received the award for his contributions to Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar Sensing & Imaging and Its Utilization.
The IEEE (I triple E) is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, which is the world's largest expert electric and electronic organization. The IEEE started in January 1963 through the integration of the AIEE (American Institute of Electrical Engineers), which was founded in 1884, and the IRE (Institute of Radio Engineers), which was founded in 1912. The IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society is a research society in the fields of earth science and remote sensing.
