At Institute of Space Technology, I’m a Professor in the Department of Space Science, where my work focuses on remote sensing, GIS, and monitoring land surface dynamics. My research also examines vegetation, natural resources, climate change, and ecological modeling.
At Technical University Dresden, I was an Alexander von Humboldt Experienced Research Fellow in the Department of Remote Sensing. Earlier, as a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of California Santa Barbara, I worked in remote sensing.
My research includes retrieving leaf water content from infrared spectra, identifying plant species with hyperspectral data, and estimating grassland biomass and nitrogen using MERIS data. I use geospatial tools including ArcGIS, QGIS, ERDAS, ENVI, SNAP, GRAS, and Google Earth Engine, as well as MATLAB and Python.
