Profile: Dr. Joan Lurie is a physicist who specializes in deriving information from satellite and other imagery, biometrics and technology transfer. Dr. Lurie has been a leader in applying remotely sensed data to several vertical markets including intelligence, forensics for evaluation of photographic evidence, disaster management and estimations of environmental impact. In the area of biometrics, Dr. Lurie has participated in evaluations of automated fingerprint and facial recognition systems. She has experience with US and international consulting projects including market and technology assessment, development of strategic relationships and contract negotiation.

Dr. Lurie has been an invited lecturer on Remote Sensing at CIO (an optics institute in Mexico) and Koc University (Istanbul, Turkey), at archeological field schools (Tel Dor and Tel Akko, Israel) and at the Israel Antiquities Authority. Her most recent published article examines the state of the art of satellite remote sensing and its applications.
