Edward Mikhail inducted into Geospatial Intelligence Hall of Fame
Edward M. Mikhail, Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering, has been inducted into the Geospatial Intelligence Hall of Fame by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). Established in 2001, NGA's GEOINT Hall of Fame honors and inducts members each year to recognize those who have profoundly affected the geospatial intelligence tradecraft.
Dr. Mikhail served 50 years in the defense and intelligence community and during his time made a significant impact on the GEOINT discipline. His work led to the development of NGA’s Digital Point Positioning Database, which is used by military and intelligence services during targeting and mission planning of weapons systems during national security crises. He also established a leading graduate program in geomatics which led to a vast amount of research, education and the development of future leaders who went on to further the GEOINT mission.
