As a PhD candidate in the GIScience Group, I focus on geospatial data fusion for disaster risk reduction. My research integrates remote sensing, environmental data, and social media information to enhance situational awareness and support decision-making in natural disaster scenarios, particularly landslides. By combining text mining techniques with Earth observation data, I aim to improve the localization and characterization of disaster events in near real-time. My doctoral studies are supported by a scholarship from the China Scholarship Council (CSC).
