Prof. Dr. Begüm Demir

Research Group Lead

Begüm Demir is currently a Full Professor and the founder head of the Remote Sensing Image Analysis (RSiM) group at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, TU Berlin and the head of the Big Data Analytics for Earth Observation research group at the Berlin Institute for the Foundations of Learning and Data (BIFOLD). Her research activities lie at the intersection of machine learning, remote sensing and signal processing. Specifically, she performs research in the field of processing and analysis of large-scale Earth observation data acquired by airborne and satellite-borne systems. She was awarded by the prestigious '2018 Early Career Award' by the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society for her research contributions in machine learning for information retrieval in remote sensing. In 2018, she received a Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) for her project "BigEarth: Accurate and Scalable Processing of Big Data in Earth Observation". She is an IEEE Senior Member and Fellow of European Lab for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS).

2018 Recipient of the “2018 Early Career Award” presented by the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society.
2017 Recipient of the Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC).
2017 Recipient of the national accreditation as Associate Professor in Telecommunications in Italy.

Earth Observation data for Climate Change research

Many environmental reports are based on the analysis of satellite images. BIFOLD researchers are creating AgoraEO, an infrastructure for Earth Observation (EO) data that enables federated analysis across different platforms, making modern EO technology accessible to all scientists and society, thus promoting climate change innovation worldwide.
