In 1992 he was a visiting scientist at Florida State University,
Tallahassee, FL. During 1993 he collaborated with the Institute of
Atmospheric Physics, CNR, Rome, Italy. From 1994 till 1996, he was with
the Italian Space Agency, Rome, Italy, as a post-doctorate researcher.
After being a lecturer at the University of Perugia, Italy, in 1997 he
joined the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of L'Aquila,
Italy teaching courses on electromagnetic fields and remote sensing. In
1999 he was at Naval Research Laboratory, Monterey, CA, as a visiting
scientist. In 2000 he was the director of the first edition of the
International Summer School on Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences
(ISSAOS), held in L'Aquila. He is presently the co-ordinator of the
satellite and radar remote sensing group within the Centre of Excellence
on Atmospheric Modelling and Remote Sensing (CETEMPS) of the University
of L'Aquila and, from 2000, he is an Adjunct Professor of antennas and
propagation at the University "La Sapienza" of Rome.
Dr. Marzano has published more than 40 papers on refereed International
Journals and more than 100 extended abstract on International and
National Congress Proceedings. He is the Editor, together with G.
Visconti, of the book "Remote sensing of atmosphere and ocean from
space: models, instruments and techniques", Advances in Global Change
Research series, Kluwer Acad. Plub., Dordrecht (NL), August. 2002. He is
a reviewer for the major international journals in remote sensing and
radiopropagation. Dr. Marzano has been a lecturer on remote sensing
techniques and wave propagation in several International Conferences and
Schools. He has been also a consultant of national engineering companies
and international agencies.
Since 1991 Dr. Marzano has been participating to several international
research projects (e.g., GPCP-AIP-2, GPCP-AIP3, NASA-PIP2, NASA-PIP3,
EU-COST-712, EU-COST-255), European-Union funded projects (e.g., STORM,
MEFFE, EuroTRMM, EuRAINSAT), and ESA-funded research studies. He is
involved within the ENVISAT calibration team, the I-GPM and E-GPM
science team and Co-PI within Italian Space Agency (ASI), Italian
National Research Council (CNR) and EUMETSAT research projects. From
2001 he acts as the Italian national delegate for European COST Actions
n. 720 on Atmospheric profiling and n. 280 on Radiopropagation
impairment mitigation. In 2002 he contributed to the planning and design
of the new national radar network within a project of the Italian Dept.
of Civil Protection.
He was the recipient of a 3-year fellowship award from Elettronica S.p.A. (Rome, Italy) for researches on microwave radiometry in 1990. In 1993 he received the Young Scientist Award of XXIV General Assembly of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI). In 1998 he was the recipient of the Alan Berman Publication Award (ARPAD) from the Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC. He was the director of the first edition of the International Summer School on Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (ISSAOS), held in L'Aquila. In 2001 his name has been included in both Marquis Who's Who in Science and Engineering - Edition 2002 and Marquis Who's Who in the World 21th century edition, New Providence, NJ. Since 2001 he has been the co-ordinator of the satellite and radar remote sensing group within the Centre of Excellence on Atmospheric Modelling and Remote Sensing (CETEMPS) of the University of L'Aquila. From 2001 he acts as the Italian national delegate for European COST Actions n. 720 on Atmospheric profiling and n. 280 on Radiopropagation impairment mitigation.
His current research concerns passive and active remote sensing of the atmosphere from ground-based, airborne, and space-borne platforms, with a particular focus on precipitation using microwave and infrared data, development of inversion methods, radiative transfer modelling of scattering media, and radar meteorology in complex orography.. He is also involved in radiopropagation studies, including scintillation and rain fading analysis and modelling along satellite microwave and millimetre-wave links.
After being a lecturer at the University of Perugia, Italy, in 1997 he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of L'Aquila, Italy teaching courses on electromagnetic fields and remote sensing. From 2000, he is an Adjunct Professor of antennas and propagation at the University "La Sapienza" of Rome.
