Radar Remote Sensing Scientist
Biological and Environmental Sciences Stirling
I’m interested in extracting information from satellite imagery supported by statistical and machine learning algorithms. My PhD focused on the use of multi-temporal and polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data for agricultural fields monitoring. I tried to understand crop and SAR signal interaction, extract fields insights and to develop near-real time crop monitoring and early warning systems.
Currently I am a postdoctoral researcher developing novel methods for near-real time monitoring of surface water extent from SAR imagery. This includes wetland water dynamics monitoring and flood/drought mapping applications. I am also developing the data ingestion and processing chains to make these algorithms operational as part of the SMART and Forth-Era[1] projects.
