Description:
Space-borne interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) has found wide applications in mapping surface deformation and terrain elevation. For example, the NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission mapped 80% of the global land mass in 2000 within 11 days. Now, a German twin satellite InSAR system is trying to break the record. However, InSAR is very computing intensive. Therefore, state-of-the-art computing software and hardware techniques have to be applied in order to improve InSAR efficiency.

The candidate is expected to perform algorithmic optimisations based on supplied Matlab code and implement the optimal algorithms in C++ in order to reduce the computation time for the current InSAR software.
