After getting in touch with Geoinformatics during his Geography studies at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen, Daniel embarked on the EAGLE graduate program in Würzburg. During his studies, he focused on vegetation remote sensing by completing several internships, such as a field campaign to map alpine vegetation in the National Park Berchtesgaden. In his master’s thesis, he predicted agricultural grassland heights via remote sensing in the European Union in collaboration with the Joint Research Center of the European Commission. Thematically fitting, Daniel joined the EORC in November 2024 to conduct research in the EO4CAM project focusing on agriculture.
