My research centers on the dynamic intersection of global change, climate extremes, water dynamics, flood risk, urban development, and disaster risk reduction. I firmly believe in the power of Earth Observation (EO) and geospatial analysis to drive solutions for urgent societal and environmental challenges, spanning from local to global scales.
