Previously, I completed my PhD in Earth Observation. My work focused on characterising sources of noise and bias in Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) time series data. In particular, I investigated:
- Better noise estimation for InSAR time series
- Change detection using InSAR time series with an application to high resolution SAR and infrastructure monitoring
- Identification of sources of bias in time series data related to vegetation and soil moisture changes
