As an entrepreneurial and curious grad student, I believe remote sensing has an increasingly important role in helping to address environmental problems. The availability of a wealth of free and open data from space provides a useful tool to help define resilience and adaptation strategies and monitor their effectiveness. In the Φ-lab, I investigated the application of AI on multi-temporal and multi-sensor (Copernicus Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2) images over rural areas for crop mapping, with Google Earth Engine. Crop mapping helps land use planning monitoring, reducing food waste and enhancing water management. I had the chance to meet inspirational professionals and experts. From May 2019, I spent six months in the team improving my knowledge in the field and working on my master thesis project.
My background is Environmental Science. I have a degree in structure and dynamics of the atmosphere and a MSc from University of Bologna (Italy) with EIT Climate-KIC certificate. I have been working on developing my start-up and, thanks to this opportunity, I gave a new input to my business idea as well as sharing remote sensing capabilities with other researchers and decision-makers with whom I am collaborating.
