Research Interests

Agricultural activities have to be monitored on local to global scales at high temporal frequency due to their dependency on physical landscapes, climatic conditions, and seasonal patterns associated with crops’ biological life cycle. In addition, crop classification is a challenging task due to spatial and temporal changes crops experience within and between seasons. My current research lies in the area of weakly supervised learning to analyze crop dynamics for agricultural land cover mapping.
