Eismann was born in 1964 in Covington, Kentucky.[1] In 1985, he received a Bachelor's degree in Physics from Thomas More College, Kentucky.[1] In 1987, he gained a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology.[1] Eismann received a PhD in Electro-Optics from the University of Dayton, Ohio, in 2004, overseen by Russell Craig Hardie.[2][3][4][1] His dissertation was Resolution enhancement of hyperspectral imagery using maximum a posteriori estimation with a stochastic mixing model.[5]
Eismann is Chief Scientist at the Sensors Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), being promoted in December 2014.[4][6][7][1] He had joined AFRL in 1996 and previously served as the Air Force Senior Scientist for Electro-Optical and Infrared Sensors.[3][7] His main areas of research are passive infrared imaging and hyperspectral remote sensing, areas which he is considered an authority on in the scientific community.[3][7] Eismann has authored multiple journal articles and book chapters on these areas. Eismann is also an adjunct professor at the Air Force Institute of Technology.[4][7][1]
Eismann's previous work includes time at the Environmental Research Institute of Michigan (1987-1996),[4][7][1] serving as the U.S. National Representative on the NATO Sensors and Electronics Technology panel and serving on the Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE) Board of Directors.[5][3] He served some time as Editor-in-Chief of the journal Optical Engineering, succeeding Ronald Driggers.[3] He was in the position from 2014-2020.[8]
