Jie Zhao is a postdoc researcher at the Chair of Data Science in Earth Observation of the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Her research interests lie in statistical and machine learning methods development to leverage multi-temporal and multi-sensor EO data for earth monitoring at a large scale, mainly focusing on large-sale flood mapping. She has been involved in several projects financed by Helmoltz Alliance (HGF), Luxembourg National Research Fund, the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection, the European Commission, and the Joint Research Centre targeting the development of new satellite EO-based services and products in the domains of water resources management. She acts as a reviewer for several remote sensing journals, such as Remote Sensing of Environment, ISPRS journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing, IEEE transactions on geoscience and remote sensing and IEEE journal of selected topics in applied earth observations and remote sensing.
