Resume of Dr. M.A. (Ali) Sharifi

Short biography

Ali Sharifi holds an MSc degree in Agricultural Engineering from University of Tehran (1967), an MSc degree in Photogrammetric Engineering from the International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC, 1973), and a PhD degree in Agriculture and Environmental Sciences from the Agricultural University of Wageningen, the Netherlands (1992). He has over 30 years of theoretical and practical experience in multiple criteria decision making, decision support systems, information systems development, application of remote sensing and geographic information systems in different disciplinary fields such as agriculture, land use planning and policy formulation and analysis. He has participated in a number of training, educational, research and consulting programs in many parts of the world, has worked with many scientists, engineers, information management staff, forest and agricultural scientists, has supervised a number of professionals at various levels, and has worked with government officials and administrators at various levels of responsibilities. He has a wealth of practical experience in the application of Geo-Information Technology in the management of Natural Resources and has published over 100 articles in various scientific journals, books, and proceedings of conferences.

Ali is associate professor in Planning and Decision making Concepts and Methods, in the Department of Urban Regional Planning and Geo-information Management at the International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) in the Netherlands. In a mean time he is adjunct professor in the faculty of Geodesy and Geo-Informatics Engineering in the K.N. Toosi University of Technology in Tehran. In these positions he chairs the Knowledge Field "Planning and Decision Making Concepts and Methods". He has chaired the ISPRS Working Group II/IV on Spatial Planning and Decision Support Systems (2004-2008), and is currently chairing the ISPRS Working Group II/VII and on Spatial Decision Support Systems and Local Based Services. His research interest is in enhancing the role of geo-information technology in management of resources. In this context his main emphasis is in the integration of disciplinary models in the framework of Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis to support planning and decision making processes in various fields.
