About Me
Assistant Professor for Remote Sensing of Water Systems at the University of Zurich and Eawag.
Research interest
My research aims to provide important information to advance understanding of water systems and to contribute tackling the key societal challenges of water scarcity.
In my group, we combine principles of remote sensing, ecohydrology, and limnology and use novel Earth observation approaches in combination with models to assess processes in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Our research activities include the development of novel of remote sensing approaches to assess water transport in the soli-vegetation-atmosphere system to eventually understand the role of vegetation in the water cycle. Further, fluorescence spectroscopy techniques for the assessment of algal fluorescence and activity are developed to complement current Earth observation approaches for aquatic research.
