Summary
Rolf Becker is a Professor of Environmental Physics and Technology with over eight years in higher education and two decades of R&D experience bridging RF electronics, sensor design, and remote sensing with UAVs. He holds a Doktor-Ingenieur (PhD) from KIT and has led applied projects on airborne hyperspectral systems, cable-radar soil moisture sensing, and smart rural development, translating lab-grade sensors into enterprise-ready products. His background spans embedded systems, wireless sensor networks and big-data analysis for environmental monitoring, informed by earlier industry R&D leadership at IMKO. Notably, he combines deep hydrology expertise with practical electronics engineering—designing both the hardware and software for time-domain reflectometry and distributed sensing platforms. Based in Kamp-Lintfort, Germany, he focuses on applied solutions that make advanced remote sensing accessible to agriculture and rural communities.
