Manuela Bonano

Manuela Bonano received the Laurea degree (summa cum laude) in environmental engineering from the University of Cagliari, Cagliari, Italy, in 2004, and the Ph.D. degree in infrastructures and transportation from the University of Roma “La Sapienza,” Rome, Italy, in 2012. In 2007, she started her research activity in the SAR interferometry field at IREA-CNR, Naples, Italy, where she mainly focused on the development of advanced multipass interferometry algorithms for full resolution differential Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry (DInSAR) analyses of local deformation affecting single buildings and man-made structures. In 2011, she joined the Earth and Planetary Science Department, University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, USA, as a Visiting Scientist. Recently, she has been involved in the development of advanced DInSAR techniques for processing SAR data acquired by novel generation satellites, such as COSMO-SkyMed, TerraSAR-X, and Sentinel-1, based on the exploitation of advanced distributed computing technologies (HPC and GPU) and infrastructures (grid and cloud computing).
