Erasmus+ BIP Machine Learning for Earth Observation and Data Fusion
The programme aims at training professionals trained in the use of geospatial data coming from satellite for Earth Observation applications, such as the monitoring of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It is based on a virtual mobility that provides the basic of machine learning techniques applied to satellite data sets and challenges the participants to provide answers to data processing questions in groups of students by different institutions.

About me
‍
I did my Erasmus at the University of Iceland, which eventually led to three years of doctoral studies and earning the title of PhD.
‍
Since then, I've been a research assistant at JSC - JĂĽlich Supercomputing Centre, later becoming Head of Simulation and Data Lab. Since 2024, I have been granted assistant Professorship at the University of Iceland in ReykjavĂk. I work at the intersection of Remote Sensing (RS), High Performance Computing (HPC), Quantum Computing (QC) and Machine Learning (ML).
