Hello! My research interest is mostly in large scale Land Cover classifications using machine learning and deep learning methods. I also partially focus on time series of multispectral remote sensing data.
Department of Applied Geoinformatics and Cartography
I actively give lectures on Basics of Geoinformatics (Basics of GIS) and Geoinformatics systems (Advanced GIS) in Charles university. In addition, I am occasionally involved in teaching of other subjects.
