Biography

Ewa is in her activities, combining cutting-edge academic research with popularization and promotion of knowledge about remote sensing and earth observation. In Academia, Ewa is conducting work on implementing machine learning in satellite images analysis. She has managed to conduct the first national-scale classification of tree species with the use of Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, which has been already presented at scientific conferences and distribution and dissemination of which is being undertaken right now. During her various classes with students, Ewa introduces a lot of coding and machine learning exercises, promoting the use of such tools among the non-technical students, such as geographers. In parallel to her research and teaching work, Ewa is leading two most widely read fan pages on the topic of remote sensing and earth observation in Poland, named "Polska z Sentinela" (Poland from Sentinel) and "Z orbity" (From the orbit). On those websites, she presents the beauty of polish and global landscapes, seen from space, combining it with description and explanation of the observed phenomena and facilitating discussion on important environmental topics.
