From 2012 to 2016, he was an external collaborator of the Ayin laboratory at INRIA, Sophia Antipolis, France.

He is co-author of more than 150 scientific publications in journals, international edited books, and conference proceedings. His research activity is focused on pattern recognition and image processing methodologies for remote sensing and energy applications.

He has been a Senior Member of the IEEE since 2014. He received the “Alessandro and Rinaldo Viviani 2002” laurea thesis award issued by the Italian Electrical and Electronic Association, the Best Paper Award at the 2010 IEEE Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing, and the Interactive Symposium Paper Award at the 2016 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS 2016).

He has been an area editor of Pattern Recognition Letters (PRL) since 2015, and an associate editor of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters since 2008. He was an associate editor of PRL from 2011 to 2015, and guest co-editor of the September 2015 special issue of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazine. He served as chairman of the Image Analysis andData Fusion Technical Committee (IADF TC) of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) from 2013 to 2015, and has been serving as IADF TC co-chair since 2015. He was publication co-chair of IGARSS 2015, technical program co-chair of the first edition of the IEEE GRSS EARTHVISION workshop at the 2015 IEEE/CVF Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR 2015) conference, and co-organizer of the second edition of EARTHVISION at CVPR 2017.

At the University of Genoa, he has been teaching courses on pattern recognition, image processing, remote sensing, and electrical communications in undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs. He is the author of two Italian textbooks for a graduate course on remote sensing (2007) and for a doctoral course on multivariate feature space transformations (2011).

He has been involved in the technical and management activities of several scientific and applicative projects related to the exploitation of remote sensing data and funded by the European Commission, the Italian Space Agency, the Italian Ministry of Education, University, and Research, the Italian Department of Civil Protection, and regional authorities.

Josiane Zerubia has been a permanent research scientist at INRIA since 1989 and director of research since July 1995. She was head of the PASTIS remote sensing laboratory (INRIA Sophia-Antipolis) from mid-1995 to 1997 and of the Ariana research group (INRIA/CNRS/University of Nice), which worked on inverse problems in remote sensing, from 1998 to 2011. From 2012 to 2016, she was head of Ayin research group (INRIA-SAM) dedicated to models of spatio-temporal structure for high-resolution image processing with a focus on remote sensing. She has been professor of advanced techniques in remote sensing image processing at SUPAERO (ISAE) in Toulouse since 1999.

Before that, she was with the Signal and Image Processing Institute of the University of Southern California (USC) in Los-Angeles as a postdoc. She also worked as a researcher for the LASSY (University of Nice/CNRS) from 1984 to 1988 and in the Research Laboratory of Hewlett Packard in France and in Palo-Alto (CA) from 1982 to 1984. She received the M.Sc. degree from the Department of Electrical Engineering at ENSIEG, Grenoble, France in 1981, the Doctor of Engineering degree, her Ph.D. and her ‘Habilitation’, in 1986, 1988, and 1994 respectively, all from the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, France.

She is author or co-author of more than 350 scientific publications in international journals, edited books and conference proceedings.

She is a Fellow of the IEEE (2003- ) and IEEE Signal Processing Society Distinguished Lecturer (2016-2017). She was associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Image Processing (TIP) from 1998 to 2002; area editor of IEEE TIP from 2003 to 2006; guest co-editor of a special issue of IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence in 2003; member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Computer Vision from 2004 till March 2013 and member-at-large of the Board of Governors of the IEEE Signal Processing Society from 2002 to 2004. She has also been a member of the editorial board of the French Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (SFPT) since 1998, of the Foundation and Trends in Signal Processing since 2007. She has been associate editor of the on-line resource: Earthzine (IEEE CEO and GEOSS).

She was co-chair of two workshops on Energy Minimization Methods in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (2001 and 2003); co-chair of a workshop on Image Processing and Related Mathematical Fields (2002); technical program chair of a workshop on Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing for Urban Areas (2003); co-chair of the special sessions at IEEE ICASSP 2006 and IEEE ISBI 2008; publicity chair of IEEE ICIP 2011; tutorial co-chair of IEEE ICIP 2014; general co-chair of the workshop EARTHVISION at IEEE CVPR 2015 and plenary talk co-chair of IEEE-EURASIP EUSIPCO 2015. She is co-chair of the workshop EARTHVISION at IEEE CVPR 2017 and part of the organizing committee of ISPRS 2020 congress.

Her main research interest is in image processing using probabilistic models. She also works on parameter estimation, statistical learning and optimization techniques.
