Biography

I am interested in remote sensing and its contribution to monitoring, understanding, and conserving biogeographic patterns. My research focuses mostly on genetic diversity and its detectability in signals acquired by imaging spectrometers.

  • MSc (2018), Remote Sensing Laboratories, University of Zurich, Switzerland
  • BSc (2015), Department of Biology, University of Warsaw, Poland
  • BSc (2014), Department of Geography, University of Warsaw, Poland

Research Interests

  • Imaging spectroscopy
  • Biogeography
  • Biodiversity
  • Conservation Biology and Ecology
