Dr. Petya K. Entcheva Campbell received a BS in Forestry from the Academy of Forest Engineering, Sofia, Bulgaria in 1988, MS in Forest Sylviculture and Ecology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, MA and a Ph.D. in Forest Analysis/Remote Sensing in 2000 from the University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH, where her research focus was on the development of remote sensing techniques for forest health assessment. Her research interests and directions include: (1) vegetation stress detection using fluorescence and optical remote sensing techniques (2) investigation of relationships among vegetation biophysical parameters and their spectral responses, (3) in situ ground spectroscopy for measuring spectral signatures of the vegetation, (4) spectral and spatial characterization of vegetation responses to a variety of natural and anthropogenic stress agents (e.g., air-pollution, pest/pathogen impacts), and (5) development of methods for ecosystem monitoring, early damage detection, and change detection at both landscape and regional scales. In 2000, Dr. Entcheva Campbell joined NASA as a NRC associate and worked at Goddard Space Research Center for two years before joining JCET/UMBC where she is currently employed. Currently, she is a member of the GSFC fluorescence and FLORA teams, as an investigator on NASA, NSF and USDA grants.
