Professor Xiaofeng Li has been with the NOAA/National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), College Park, MD, USA since 1997. His research interests include remote sensing observation and theoretical/numerical model studies of various types of oceanic and atmospheric phenomena, image processing, ocean surface oil spill and target detection with multipolarization SAR, and sea surface temperature algorithms development. He is also involved in developing many operational satellite ocean remote sensing products at NESDIS. Prof. Li also serves as the vice Chair: Washington Chapter of IEEE/Geoscience and Remote Sensing SocietyHe is a senior Member of IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing society and IEEE Oceanic Engineering society, a member of American Geophysical Union (AGU) and American Meteorological Society (AMS). He also serves as Editors for several international journals, e.g. International Journal of Remote Sensing, International Journal of Digital Earth. He is also invited as guest professor at three universities in the US and 10 institutions in China.
