Debora Pastina received the Laurea degree in telecommunications engineering and the Ph.D. degree in information and communication engineering from Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy, in 1996 and 2000, respectively. From July 1998 to March 1999, she carried on research activity with the SAR Processing Team, Defence Evaluation Research Agency (DERA), Malvern, U.K. In March 2001 she joined as Assistant Professor the University of Rome "La Sapienza", DIET Department, where she is currently Associate Professor teaching several courses related to remote sensing and telecommunications. She is involved in and is responsible of scientific research projects funded by the Italian Ministry of Research, the Italian Space Agency, the European Commission, the European Space Agency, the Lazio region and the national radar industry. The results of her research have been reported in more than 150 publications in international technical journals, book chapters and conference proceedings. Her main research interests include SAR/ISAR systems and signal processing techniques, passive radar systems exploiting GNSS/DVB-S as transmitters of opportunity for detection, localization and imaging, ground moving target indication techniques, FSR systems, clutter models, coherent and incoherent radar detection in non-Gaussian clutter and CFAR radar techniques.
Dr. Pastina serves as Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Radar Systems. From 2017 to 2023 she also served as Associate Editor for Radar Systems for the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems and from 2012 to 2023 she was also a member of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Electronics and Communications (AEÜ, Elsevier) acting as Area Editor for radar systems and techniques. Debora Pastina was Technical Chairman of the 2022 European Radar Conference held in Milan (Italy) in September 2022. She was Chair of the 3MT Competition inside the 2020 IEEE Radar Conference, Publication Chair of the 2008 IEEE Radar Conference held in Rome in May 2008, Chairman of the Local Committee of the IEEE/ISPRS Joint Workshop on Remote Sensing and Data Fusion over Urban Areas (Rome, November 2001). She has served in the technical review/program committee of many international conferences on radar systems and remote sensing, and she is frequently reviewer for several international technical journals.
