Prof. Dr. Vern Singhroy's remarkable career spans over four decades, solidifying his status as a global authority in remote sensing applications. As the President of EOSPATIAL Inc. in Ottawa, Canada, he leverages satellite imaging technology to address critical challenges in infrastructure monitoring, environmental assessment, and resource management. His contributions have profoundly impacted both the scientific community and practical applications worldwide. His achievements are:
Served as the Chief Scientist for the $1.3 billion RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) of the Canadian Space Agency. Launched in June 2019, the RCM's three radar satellites have significantly advanced global Earth observation.
Contributed to remote sensing projects in over 30 countries, supported by Canada's international partnerships.
Delivered training programs for the global standard of remote sensing practices.
Earned a Ph.D. in Environmental and Resource Engineering (State University of New York, Syracuse) alongside degrees in Geography (McMaster University, University of Manitoba). He is a licensed professional engineer.
Held academic positions at institutions such as Professor at the International Space University in France and as an adjunct professor at the University of New Brunswick and the University of Ottawa.
Published over 300 scholarly papers and contributed as editor-in-chief for the Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing.
Edited works, including the "Encyclopedia of Remote Sensing" and a Springer volume on “Advanced remote sensing techniques for infrastructure monitoring.”
Senior Scientist at the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (1995–2020).
Early career roles included geologist (Manitoba Government), geotechnical engineering consultant, and remote sensing engineer (Ontario Government).
Recipient of prestigious accolades, such as the Gold Medal Award from the Canadian Remote Sensing Society and the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Medal, celebrating his leadership in remote sensing innovation and education.
Dr. Singhroy's ongoing work at EOSPATIAL Inc. continues to advance remote sensing technologies, providing crucial insights for addressing global challenges. His profound influence as a mentor, scientist, and leader ensures his legacy as a cornerstone of modern remote sensing.
