Dr. Francesco Nex is currently Associate Professor in the Earth Observation Science (EOS) Department at the University of Twente.
Francesco Nex received his master degree in Environmental Engineering (2006) and his PhD degree (2010) from the TU Turin (Italy). From 2011 to 2015 he was with the 3DOM unit of FBK (Italy) working as Marie-Curie Post-Doc in the CIEM Project from 2011 to 2014 and then as Researcher. In 2015, Francesco moved to the University of Twente, before as Assistant Professor and later as Associate Professor at the faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC), department of Earth Observation Science (EOS). His main research interests are in the use of UAV platforms and oblique imagery as well as the automation in the feature extraction and classification of this data. Francesco is author of over 100 publications in international journals and conferences. He is currently involved in three European research projects dealing with UAV imagery: Its4Land, Panoptis and Ingenious.
He is the Chairman of the ICWG I/II (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: sensors and applications) of the ISPRS (International Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing) and he was the PI of the ISRPS scientific initiativeon the integration of UAVs and oblique imagery.He chairs the UAV-g 2019 conference. He has been serving as guest Editor in several indexed journals and he is involved in the Editorial board of ISPRS Journal, Drones and Remote Sensing (as Associate Editor).
