We congratulate Jeroen Staab on his successful defense of his PhD thesis. His thesis is titled “A geographic perspective on noise in urban areas and beyond: Using multimodal data and machine learning techniques”.
Jeroen has pursued his work at the Earth Observation Center (EOC) of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). He has given guest lectures here at EORC over the last years (see e.g. here: https://remote-sensing.org/guest-lecture-by-jeroen-staab-2/ ), he has finished his Master at the JMU in Würzburg and finished his PhD now at the Humboldt University Berlin.
In his PhD, he developed an approach that allows to map noise. He researched the potential of combining existing, but heterogeneous and spatially incomplete noise data with area-wide remote sensing-based and other multimodal geodata in order to carry out area-wide noise modelling using ML/AI techniques.
His work was supervised by Prof. Dr. Hannes Taubenböck and our long-time collaborator Prof. Dr. Tobia Lakes. Dr. Michael Wurm and Dr. Arthur Schady mentored the research and Prof. Dr. Andreas Schmitt was among the PhD committee.
His work has also resulted in many publications in international journals and conferences – see a selection here:
