Biography

I am Professor of AI in Remote Sensing at the Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences, where I was appointed in March 2024.

Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences

Before, I served as Assistant Professor of Computer Vision (2022 - 2024) at the School of Computer Science and as Senior Scientist (2020 - 2022) at the AIML Lab of the University of St. Gallen (Switzerland), where I gathered experience in deep learning and machine learning.

Previously, my research focused on a completely different field: Solar System Astronomy. As a Postdoc and Associate Researcher at Northern Arizona University (2013 - 2018) and as Astronomer at Lowell Observatory (2018-2020), I used ground-based and space-based telescopic observations and numerical models to investigate the physical properties of asteroids and comets and developed scientific software.

Before becoming an astronomer, I received my PhD in Earth Sciences (2013) from the Free University Berlin after finishing my thesis project at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) (2009 -2013). My academic journey began with a diploma (MSc equivalent) in Physics, which I completed at the University of Heidelberg (2004-2009).
