Yoshio Yamaguchi received BE degree in electronics engineering from Niigata University, Niigata, Japan, in 1976 and ME and Dr. Eng. degrees from Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo, Japan, in 1978 and 1983, respectively. He is a Professor Emeritus and Fellow of Niigata University after his retirement in 2019. He is also an invited researcher at National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan. He had been with Faculty of Engineering, Niigata University during 1978-2019 as Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor, where he had engaged in the research of electromagnetic wave propagation in tunnels, in lossy media, FMCW radar for short range sensing. From 1988 to 1989, he was a Research Associate at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where he learned basic polarimetry under the guidance of Prof. Wolfgang M. Boerner. His interests moved toward the fields of radar polarimetry, microwave scattering, scattering power decomposition and imaging. He has published more than 110 journal papers, 3 books, 4 book chapters, and more than 300 conference proceedings. Dr. Yamaguchi has served as Chair of IEEE Geoscience & Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) Japan Chapter (2002-03), Chair of International Union of Radio Science Commission F Japan Committee (URSI-F) Japan (2006-2011), Associate Editor for Asian affairs of GRSS Newsletter (2003-07), and Technical Program Committee (TPC) Co-Chair of the 2011 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS). He is a Life Fellow of IEEE and a Fellow of the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE), Japan, and a recipient of 2008 IEEE GRSS Education Award "in recognition of significant educational contributions to Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society" and 2017 IEEE GRSS Distinguished Achievement Award "for contributions to Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar Sensing & Imaging and its Utilization".
