Beatrice Sabatella

Visiting Researcher

My passion is the study of our planet and its evolution due to climate change. In particular, the focus of my research is the use of InSAR methods to better understand the fast changing areas of the cryosphere. I am fascinated by the Machine Learning potential in these fields and interested in evaluating how AI tools can improve and facilitate the comprehension of what we can observe today through
satellite imagery. This interest grew from my earlier work at Φ-lab in 2018-2019, where I was involved in testing Machine Learning
algorithms and in designing Earth Observation datasets for Artificial Intelligence exploitation. The goal was to develop a series of innovation events, including Hackathons, to foster the use of specific Airborne and Satellite data. 

My background is in Aerospace Engineering, and I have focused on EO and geoscience since I started my first internship at the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) in 2017. While pursuing my academic degree at University of Rome La Sapienza, I had the possibility to engage in two other internships, respectively at ESA ESRIN (Φ-lab) and NASA JPL, where I have been working on different Earth scenarios, from the Poles to the Tropics,
focusing on SAR applications and performing environmental monitoring.
My new visiting research period at the Φ-lab starts in March 2020.
