CEO Personnel Profile
Professor of Forestry and of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Director of Center for Earth Observation
Background:
Dr. Khorram received a MS. in Engineering and another MS in Ecology from the University of California (U.C.) at Davis. He received a Ph.D. in 1975 under a joint program from the University of California at Berkeley and Davis with emphasis in Remote Sensing and Image Processing.From 1974 to 1980, he served as the Principal Scientist for a number of projects at the Space Sciences Laboratory at the University of California in Berkeley, funded by many national and state agencies. He joined the faculty in North Carolina State University (NCSU) in 1980. At NCSU, he has served as the Principal Investigator for over 60 major research projects funded by a number of national agencies such as NSF, NASA, NOAA, EPA, USDA, USGS, many state agencies, private sector, and several international agencies. His research projects have focused on remote sensing, image processing, and information technology.
In 1982, he established the Computer Graphics Center at NCSU as a university-wide officially recognized center involved in research and training in information systems, and special purpose computing. He has served as the founding Director of this Center since its establishment. In 1997, he changed the name and the mission of the Computer Graphics Center to the Center for Earth Observation (CEO). The mission of the CEO, as a university-wide officially recognized center, remains similar to the Computer Graphics Center.
In the 1986 and 87, he served as a NASA-ASEE Fellow as a summer faculty at Stanford University, California. Since 1988, he has served as a faculty member at the International Space University (ISU). He has been involved in ISU's major programs such as the Master of Space Studies degree program and the Summer Session Program, that have been held in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia, annually from 1988 to present. Since his involvement in ISU, Dr. Khorram has worked with over 250 educators and world-renowned experts from 30 countries and has participated in educating over 1,200 multidisciplinary graduate students from 67 countries worldwide.
In 1995 and 96, he served as the first Dean and Vice President for Academic Programs at the International Space University in Strasbourg, France while on extended off campus scholarly leave from NCSU. In this capacity, he was responsible for the development and delivery of all academic programs and supervision of the faculty, the academic staff and Program Directors. Dr. Khorram served as the Principal Advisor to the President in 96 and as the Chair of the Academic Council and its representative to the Board of Trustees at ISU in 97 and 98.
He has continuously taught courses at both graduate and undergraduate levels for over two decades and has trained over 20 Ph.D. and MS students. He has been recognized and awarded by a number of scientific societies at national and international levels. He is the author of over 160 technical publications in peer-reviewed journals, national and international scientific conference proceedings, and major technical reports. He is a member of several professional and scientific societies.
