Research assistant in the COCAP project

I am a Research Fellow at Leipzig University. I joined the group as part of the CoCap project: COping CAPacity of nations facing systemic crisis – a global intercomparison exploring the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. I’m interested in applications for remote sensing in domains outside the academic sciences: investigative journalism, human rights monitoring, and environmental accountability.
