Kilian Vos

Earth Observation Scientist

I'm a data scientist and researcher working on projects in Earth Observation and Machine Learning. I use big data cloud computing (Google Cloud Platform/Google Earth Engine) to extract useful features from time-series of publicly available satellite imagery and build near real-time monitoring applications. I like to use image processing and machine learning to solve to complex problems, create cloud-native automated pipelines and deliver webGIS apps to visualise spatio-temporal data (Django, Leaflet, PostgreSQL/PostGIS).

I also have experience in time-series regression problems (LSTMs, autoencoders) and optimisation of decision-making problems (Markov Decision Processes) using Reinforcement Learning (Deep Q-learning, multi-agent).

Open-source projects: CoastSat, Coastal WebGIS Portal, SDS_Benchmark
, RL optimisation
