Alejandro C. Frery (born 21 February 1960) is an Argentine-born computational statistician and image processing expert. He is a full professor of Statistics and Data Science at the School of Mathematics and Statistics, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. His research focuses on statistical computing, stochastic modeling, and the analysis of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) imagery.

Early life and education

Frery was born in Mendoza, Argentina, in 1960. He received a B.Sc. in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from Universidad de Mendoza in 1983. M.Sc. degree in Applied Mathematics (Statistics) from the Instituto de Matemática Pura e Aplicada in 1990. Ph.D. degree in Applied Computing from the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais, São José dos Campos, Brazil, in 1993.[1]

Research and contributions

Frery's research intersects computational statistics and image processing, with significant work in:

  • Statistical modeling of SAR/PolSAR data[2]
  • Entropy and complexity measures in remote sensing[3]
  • Information-theoretic image classification[4]
  • Image filtering and clustering in remote sensing application[5]
