I am an Environmental AI & Geospatial Data Scientist and PhD researcher at the University of Florida. My work connects field sampling, soil spectroscopy, Earth observation, and privacy-preserving machine learning to build reproducible tools for digital soil mapping, carbon monitoring, irrigation intelligence, and climate-smart environmental decision support.
University of Florida, USA
Focus on leveraging AI and hyperspectral satellite data for digital soil mapping and carbon sequestration monitoring. Dissertation explores decentralized and federated approaches that preserve data privacy while improving soil predictions.
University of Georgia, USA
Integration of ML techniques in agricultural data and handling of large environmental datasets to produce meaningful insights on farm management practices.
University of Georgia, USA
Specialized in precision agriculture and irrigation scheduling tools. Thesis developed decision support tools for irrigation scheduling in peanuts and soil moisture–based monitoring of flash droughts and saturation in pasture systems.
Agricultural University of Athens, Greece
Completed an integrated master’s with a thesis on prolonged drought and water scarcity indicators in the Guadiana River basin (Spain/Portugal), focusing on hydrology and water resource management plan between the two countries.
