What I do:

I develop tools around our hyperspectral remote sensing sensor system Hyspex. Mainly the georeferencing, VNIR/SWIR alignment and some GPS/IMU processing.

I am further responsible for the atmospheric correction of these data using ATCOR.

Beside this I am responsible for the software stack of our 4 channel Skye sensors. These sensors measure downwelling irradiance from the sky and reflected upwelling radiance from the ground. These stationary sensors are mounted at the eddy flux towers in Hohes Holz and Großes Bruch.

What I use:

  • Linux (Manjaro)
  • C++
  • Python
  • QGIS
  • ENVI
  • QtCreator


C++ libs and tools
  • GCC and Clang
  • intel TBB (now oneTBB)
  • OpenCV
  • Eigen
  • libcmaes
  • GDAL
  • PROJ


Python tools and libs

  • the usual suspects: numpy, pandas, matplotlib, ...
  • GPy (Gaussian Process)

Research interests

  • hyperspectral remote sensing
  • machine learning
  • Gaussian Process
  • numeric optimization
  • C++ and its evolution (C++20, C++23, ..., cppcon talks, ...)
