He earned a Master's degree from the University of Manitoba before completing his Ph.D. in Environmental and Resource Engineering at the State University of New York at Syracuse.[5][2] He is a registered Professional Engineer in Ontario.[1]
Career
RADARSAT Constellation Mission
As Chief Scientist for the Canadian Space Agency's RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM),[6][7] and the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) application scientist for RADARSAT 1 and 2 ,[1][2] he contributed to the development of geological image interpretation techniques and applications for infrastructure monitoring.[8][9][10][11][12][13]The RCM mission provides rapid-revisit radar imaging capabilities for monitoring environmental changes and natural resources, with high-resolution InSAR data available every four days.[10][7] His work has helped position Canadian radar science at the forefront of operational monitoring and applied geospatial intelligence.[7]
Academic positions
From 1998 to 2020, Singhroy held a position as Professor of Earth Observation at the International Space University (ISU) in Strasbourg, France, where he chaired the Satellite Applications department at the ISU Summer Sessions.[1] He has also served as an Adjunct Professor at the University of New Brunswick in Planetary and Space Sciences and at the University of Ottawa in Geography and Environmental Sciences.[1][2]
EOSPATIAL Inc.
Singhroy is President of EOSPATIAL Inc., a company based in Ottawa that provides satellite-based remote sensing solutions for infrastructure monitoring, environmental assessment, and resource management.[14]
Publications and editorial work
Singhroy has authored over 300 scholarly papers and satellite image maps.[15][2] He served as editor-in-chief of the Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing from 1993 to 1997.[4] His editorial work includes serving as a section editor for the Encyclopedia of Remote Sensing (Springer, 2014),[16][17] and edited the Advances in Remote Sensing for Infrastructure Monitoring (Springer, 2021).[3][7]
