Biography
I am a geoscience researcher at GAIA laboratory, University of Lausanne, since 2020. When I was a little girl, I was curious about how to make people live longer and froze my small fish to make an experiment on it. My interest in mathematics and engineering made me forget about this curiosity. I have done a B.S. in Surveying Engineering. I was lucky that I chose remote sensing in my graduate years, making me a free girl who can follow her curiosity. Although I am not able to make people live longer, I can still analyze remotely sensed data to understand how our environment and the planet change in order to have a better life.
Research Statement
As remotely sensed data is affected by acquisition limitations, such as clouds, shadows, revisiting time, and so on, my research focuses on producing a continuous and consistent Earth surface data by analyzing available climate data and remotely sensed images.
