I’m a PostDoc in the working group Land Cover & Dynamics at the Department Remote Sensing of the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ. My research focusses on the analysis of vegetation dynamics using satellite remote sensing. This requires the acquisition of high spatio-temporal resolution satellite data and its radiometric and topographic correction, as well as the implementation of algorithms on high performance computing and cloud systems able to deal with huge amounts of data. My interests include the usage of machine learning algorithms and ecological modelling in order to understand the interactions between vegetation and environmental conditions.
