I am an all-round remote sensing specialist for earth science applications such as mining & critical raw materials, natural hazards, and environmental monitoring, within the framework of sustainable capacity building. 

I teach MSc and PhD courses on remote sensing data processing and computer programming, predominantly in international environments:

•  course-director of the Applied Earth Sciences MSc programme, 2012-2015;
• teaching e-learning and classroom courses in an MSc curriculum;
• teaching tailor-made courses on location (Asia, Africa, Latin America);
• supervision of over 32 MSc theses and 8 PhD theses;
• mentoring students in managing their own learning experience.

My research interest is optical remote sensing and image processing for earth science applications:

• porting hyperspectral mineral indices to freely available satellite imagery;
• use freely available satellite imagery for continental-scale geological mapping;
• analysis of multi-temporal satellite & field camera data for monitoring earth dynamics.
