I am a remote sensing scientist at the GFZ Helmholtz Centre Potsdam, working on multiscale Earth observation from laboratory and field measurements to UAV, airborne, and spaceborne platforms. My research focuses on innovative hyperspectral sensors and methods, particularly in the visible to thermal infrared range, for digital soil mapping, soil property estimation, and soil health monitoring. I combine soil spectroscopy, extensive field experience, and process understanding with Earth observation data, machine learning, and process-based models to support a wide range of soil and dryland applications.
