Alexander Kokhanovsky is the leader of Cloud Remote Sensing Group at Institute of Environmental Physics and Remote Sensing of Univeristy of Bremen. Having obtained his academic degrees from the Belarusian State University and Institute of Physics at National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, he spent most of his career working for Institute of Physics in Minsk before taking up his present appointment at University of Bremen in 2001. He has authored over 150 scientific publications and published 4 books (Lights Scattering Media Optics, Polarization Optics of Random Media, Cloud Optics, Aerosol Optics). He is also a member of the American and European Geophysical Unions and an associate editor of the JQSRT, Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, and Remote Sensing. He is editor of the series in "Light Scattering" and "Wiley Series in Atmospheric Physics and Remote Sensing". Vijay Natraj is a scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology (JPL). He obtained Bachelor and Master from the National University of Singapore, Singapore in 1998 and 2002, respectively, and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Pasadena, USA in 2008. His Ph.D. thesis was on radiative transfer modeling for the retrieval of CO2 from space. Before joining JPL, Dr. Natraj worked as a researcher in the Department of Planetary Sciences at Caltech. His research interests are in the areas of polarization, aerosol and cloud modeling, fast radiative transfer computations, and information theoretical analysis.
