In both 2021 and 2022, she was included on Clarivate鈥檚 list of highly cited researchers.
Du鈥檚 research focuses on digital image processing and machine learning, and their applications to remote-sensing problems, with particular expertise on hyperspectral image exploitation. Her work covers an extensive range of topics in remote-sensing image process and analysis, including target detection, anomaly detection, change detection, classification, spectral unmixing, dimensionality reduction, band selection, multisource data fusion, real-time processing, parallel computing, data compression, registration and mosaicking, sharpening, visualization, and image super-resolution.
鈥淚鈥檓 deeply honored to be elected as the new editor-in-chief of JARS, and I will follow the footsteps of my predecessors to continue to move the journal to the next level,鈥 said Du. 鈥淎s a Lifetime Member of SPIE, I鈥檓 very happy to have the great opportunity to serve the community in this capacity.鈥
