Professor Pablo J. Zarco-Tejada is jointly appointed between the Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences and the Melbourne School of Engineering, primarily focusing on remote sensing, precision agriculture and vegetation stress detection using hyperspectral and thermal imagery acquired by manned and unmanned aircraft systems.
He is Agricultural Engineer from the University of Córdoba, Spain, MSc in Remote Sensing from the University of Dundee, UK, and a PhD in Earth and Space Science from York University, Canada.
He was later appointed as Faculty member of the University of California, Davis, USA, Director of the Institute for Sustainable Agriculture (IAS-CSIC), and leader of the Laboratory for Research Methods in Quantitative Remote Sensing (QuantaLab-CSIC). Since 2012, he has been Senior Scientist at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission leading the development of algorithms for the assessment of physiological condition through thermal and hyperspectral remote sensing imagery.
He has coordinated projects funded by national and European bodies and industry. Author of over a hundred research papers published in international journals, he is Associate Editor of Remote Sensing of Environment (RSE), the European Journal of Agronomy (EJA), Remote Sensing (RS), and has been recipient of awards during his scientific career in Spain, United Kingdom and Canada.
