Research Interests:

My research interests cover machine and deep learning applications in the Earth observation domain. Particularly by the usage and temporary processing of remote sensing data. Some of the topics I have worked on (and am currently working on) are

  • Multi-view/sensor/modal learning
  • Data fusion
  • Missing data
  • Co-learning
  • Earth observation and remote sensing data
  • Agricultural applications: crop yield prediction, crop mapping.
  • Land-use and land-cover classification.
