Scott Madry, Ph.D. is a specialist in remote sensing and GIS for regional environmental and cultural applications, including archaeology and disaster management. He was elected a full member of the International Academy of Astronautics in 2023. He is a professor emeritus of the International Space University in Strasbourg, France and is a research associate professor of archeology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has been involved with the International Space University since 1987 and has taught in over 35 ISU summer programs around the world. He was on the resident ISU faculty in Strasbourg, France for three years and he was the Program Director for four of the Southern Hemisphere Summer Space Programs, held in Adelaide, Australia. He is the founder and president of Informatics International, Inc. an international remote sensing and GIS consulting company located in Chapel Hill, NC. He specializes in natural and cultural resource management and disaster applications and received his Ph.D. in 1986 at UNC-CH, and worked at the Institute for Technology Development, Space Remote Sensing Center at NASA for 3 years, and then taught at Rutgers University for 9 years before teaching at ISU and moving back to UNC. His research includes remote sensing, GIS and GPS applications and he has done work in North America, Africa, and Europe. He is the author of 11 books and over 50 peer-reviewed articles and papers. He was the co-editor of the 1,200 page, two-volume Manual of Satellite Applications for Springer Press in 2012 and the 1,300 page, two-volume Handbook of Small Satellites in 2020. He has given over 200 short courses and educational programs in 30 countries around the world on six continents and is very involved in Open Source GIS. He is an advanced disaster instructor with the American Red Cross, and has deployed to multiple disasters with them, mostly as an Emergency Operations Center liaison, but has worked in several other capacities. He is also active with the GISCorps in providing remote data analysis in disasters, and he was awarded, along with other GISCorps volunteers, the 2012 President's Volunteer Service Award for 2012 by President Barack Obama for his work in applying space technologies to disaster management.

Scott Madry, Ph.D. 是一位專精於遙感和地理資訊系統（GIS）的專家，主要應用於區域環境和文化領域，包括考古學和災害管理。他於2023年被選為國際宇航科學院的正式會員。他是位於法國斯特拉斯堡的國際太空大學的名譽教授，並且是北卡羅來納大學教堂山分校的考古學研究副教授。自1987年以來，他一直參與國際太空大學的工作，並在全球超過35個ISU夏季計畫中授課。他在法國斯特拉斯堡的ISU常駐教職工作了三年，並擔任過四個南半球夏季太空計畫的計畫主任，這些計畫在澳大利亞阿德萊德舉行。他是Informatics International, Inc.的創辦人及總裁，這是一家位於北卡羅來納州教堂山的國際遙感和GIS諮詢公司。他專注於自然和文化資源管理及災害應用，並於1986年在UNC-CH獲得博士學位，之後在NASA的技術發展研究所、太空遙感中心工作了三年，然後在羅格斯大學任教九年，之後回到ISU並重返UNC。他的研究包括遙感、GIS和GPS應用，並在北美、非洲和歐洲進行過相關工作。他是11本書籍和超過50篇經過同行評審的文章及論文的作者。他於2012年擔任Springer Press出版的1,200頁、兩卷本《衛星應用手冊》的共同編輯，並於2020年擔任1,300頁、兩卷本《小型衛星手冊》的共同編輯。他在全球六大洲的30個國家提供了超過200個短期課程和教育計畫，並積極參與開源GIS。他是美國紅十字會的高級災害講師，並多次隨紅十字會部署到各種災害現場，主要擔任緊急應變中心的聯絡人，但也在其他多個角色中工作。他還積極參與GISCorps，提供災害中的遠程數據分析，並與其他GISCorps志願者一起獲得了2012年由巴拉克·奧巴馬總統頒發的總統志願服務獎，以表彰他在災害管理中應用太空技術的工作。
