We welcome a new PhD student, Konstantin Müller, one of our former EAGLE students.
Konstantin Müller studied Computer Science at the JMU Würzburg before working as a software engineer and studying Aerospace IT. After switching to EAGLE and focusing his research in the direction of Earth Observation, he quickly was able to publish his first paper on Digital Surface Model creation through deep learning together with Hannes Taubenböck, Christian Geiss, and the Computer Science Department of the JMU. With his expertise on programming, he re-developed the already well established R package RStoolbox while coding QGIS plugins for the community. So far, he tries to keep his research in a multidisciplinary manner finishing a master thesis about animal path segmentation and starting a PHD in the direction of central African settlement development.
