P.N. (Philip) Conroy
Profile
I am an electrical engineer working in the fields of electromagnetics and signal processing for remote sensing and science applications. I am passionate about furthering humanity's reach into space and its capacity to foster international cooperation. I began my PhD in August 2020 in using InSAR technology to measure and monitor ground subsidence in the Netherlands. Previously I was a young graduate trainee at ESA (ESTEC) for two years, where I focused on physical modeling of atmospheric and ionospheric effects on spacebourne radar systems (Mars Express, BIOMASS, ROSE-L).
Research
I am working on measuring the subtle changes over time in the height of Dutch peatlands (polderland) as part of a larger study called LOSS - Living on Soft Soils: Subsidence and Society. Our aim is to quantify the rate of peat soil loss in the Netherlands and assess the social and environmental effects this has; for example, increased flooding risks and greenhouse gas emissions.
