environmental analysis and monitoring

The main research interests are in the field of signal and image processing, with particular reference to Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and microwave remote sensing.

Her most significant scientific contributions are the following:

-    development of radar imaging techniques based on one bit coding of the received signal, that can be implemented for real-time processing on simple low cost architectures;

-    development of statistical techniques for moving target detection using SAR systems

M. Lega is Professor at Dept. of Engineering - Univ. of Naples Parthenope.

The very first salient stages of technical/scientific educational training of M. Lega are summarized below: Master Degree in aerospace engineering, qualification to the profession of engineer, Ph.D in Aerospace Engineering, research grant/post-doc. The post-graduate research /training activity (Post-Doc fellows and research fellows) was spent in national and international context at prestigious universities and research institutions.

Promoting research applied to the environment and the exploitation of resources, aiming to increase the well-being and sustainability of our society in the context of a changing world.
