CEO Personnel Profile
Professor and Founding Director of theCenter for Earth Observation,
North Carolina State University,
Raleigh, NC 27695-7106Phone: (919) 515-3430
E-mail: Khorram@ncsu.edu
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 at the Space Sciences Laboratory at the University of California in Berkeley. 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. 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 spatial information technology and special purpose computing. In 1997, he changed the name of the Computer Graphics Center to the Center for Earth Observation (CEO) with the same mission.
In 1986 and 87, he served as a NASA-ASEE Fellow at NASA Ames Research Center and as a summer faculty at Stanford University, California. Since 1988, he has served as a faculty member at the International Space University (ISU). Dr. Khorram has worked with over 250 educators and world-renowned experts from 63 countries and has participated in educating over 2,000 multidisciplinary graduate students from 67 countries worldwide.
In 1995 and 96, he served as the first Dean and Vice President for Academic Programs at ISU in Strasbourg, France. 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. He played a major role in establishing academic relationships between ISU and major space organizations such as European, French, Japanese, Russian, German, Austrian, and Indian Space Agencies. Subsequent to his position as the Dean, Dr. Khorram served as the Principal Advisor to the President in 1996 and as the Chair of the Academic Council and Chair of the ISU’s 23 Affiliates Campuses Network worldwide. He currently serves as a member of the University’s Board of Trustees.
He holds two patents in Data Fusion techniques as applied to imagery from various payloads and platforms. He has served as the Major Professor for over 30 Ph.D. and MS students. He is the author of over 200 publications in peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, and major technical reports. He is a member of several professional and scientific societies.
