Krištof Oštir graduated in physics, and accomplished his postgraduate studies in remote sensing (M.Sc. and Ph.D.) at the University of Ljubljana. His main research fields are optical and radar remote sensing and image processing. In particular he has performed research in radar interferometry, digital elevation production, land use and land cover classification, post-processing and fuzzy classification. The applications of remote sensing range from hazard monitoring change detection, archaeological site analysis to paleo-environment and paleo-relief modelling. He is author of a number of papers on remote sensing, geographical information systems and computer engineering, and is a reviewer for the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing. He regularly participates in scientific conferences and has as a research fellow visited Hasylab (DESY, Germany), Institute for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (Technical University of Vienna, Austria), Austrian Academy of Sciences (Austria), and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (France). He is also employed as an Assistant Professor at the University of Ljubljana, where he teaches several courses on remote sensing and satellite image processing. He is the president of the Scientific Council of the Institute of Anthropological and Spatial Studies.
