Researcher in geoscience, remote sensing, and scientific computing
I am a Researcher (formerly Junior Group Leader) at Institute for Interdisciplinary Mountain Research, Austrian Academy of Sciences in Innsbruck, Austria. My PhD from Institute of Earth Surface Dynamics, University of Lausanne focused on geostatistics, which remains a core pillar of my work.
Previously, I was Assistant Professor in Geo-Environmental Data Science at Utrecht University; I was Postdoctoral Researcher at Department of Geological Sciences, Stanford University .

Current Work
I am developing a passive-sensing approach that uses photogrammetry to generate digital elevation models from a single flyover. I also collaborate on projects spanning remote sensing, geostatistics, and bird tracking.
I also publish short opinion notes in Viewpoints.
