Research

My research is centred around Earth Observation (EO), strongly focusing on analysing the effects of climate change, drought, and other environmental factors using Remote Sensing (RS) technologies. Leveraging EO data to monitor and understand changes in environmental systems, specifically the hydro-ecological and forest ecosystems, which are crucial components of global biodiversity and climate regulation.

One of the key aspects of my work is assessing climate change's impact on these ecosystems, using a variety of indicators to measure both resilience and the spatial-temporal distribution of environmental changes. These indicators help to quantify the degree to which ecosystems can withstand stress and adapt to the changing climate. I employ various remote sensing techniques, such as analysing vegetation indices (like NDVI and KNDVI), to track shifts in forest cover, water availability, and vegetation health across different regions over time. This allows me to evaluate how environmental variables are influenced by climate change and to detect early warning signs of degradation or recovery in ecosystems.

In addition, I am deeply involved in modelling and optimising machine learning algorithms to better understand complex environmental systems. The ultimate goal of my research is to contribute to global efforts to combat climate change by providing actionable insights into ecosystem health, resilience, and the long-term sustainability of natural resources.
