Research interests

Remote Sensing specialist

Swiss National Forest Inventory

I lead and collaborate on both national and international projects and programs primarily focused on forestry, while also mentoring master’s and PhD students. Additionally, I serve as an associate editor for two Q1 journals and am an active participant in numerous scientific committees. My particular research interests include evaluating the current state and changes (both natural and anthropogenic) of landscapes, especially in forestry. To facilitate this, I employ modeling techniques combined with high-resolution remote sensing data, such as airborne sensors, Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS), and spaceborne sensors like GEDI, Sentinel-1/2, and Landsat. I emphasize machine learning techniques along with the use of open data and software. My research is particularly centered on spatial estimation of forest parameters (such as area, structure, tree species, above ground biomass, forest edges, etc.) across various spatial and temporal scales, and on ensuring the proper validation of these outputs and foster their correct use. I am also deeply committed to bridging the gap between research and forestry practitioners.
