You initiate, carry out and participate in education, research, and consulting activities on the analysis of remote sensing images from various sensors. The increasing availability of imaging sensors creates abundant opportunities and challenges to extract the most out of those. A major challenge is the integration of images from different sensors. Recent artificial intelligence methods like deep learning, methods to analyse big remote sensing data and image fusion are commonly used. Focus is on images from optical and SAR sensors collected by satellites, airplanes, drones and terrestrial systems. In research projects you will develop methods for efficient information extraction from large collections of images for applications in e.g. the natural environment, agriculture and the living environment. You are able to discuss and find solutions for information acquisition problems emerging within ITC’s research, industrial and consulting projects and initiate contacts to develop multi-disciplinary research projects. You will teach, assist, and supervise MSc and PhD students, contribute to the development of educational modules and new blended learning packages at various levels of education and actively participate in joint educational programmes with ITC’s partner institutes abroad. You may share responsibility in the management of the department. You actively participate in national and international professional societies.
