Om

With over 15 years of experience in satellite remote sensing, data science, and environmental and social governance (ESG), I am a Principal Consultant and Earth Observations Lead at DNV, a global leader in assurance and risk management.

I apply my academic background in atmospheric chemistry and climatology and my professional skills in numerical modeling, data analysis, and project management to deliver innovative and impactful solutions for various industries, such as maritime, energy, and movie. I manage projects from proposal writing to execution and validation, ensuring high-quality results and customer satisfaction. I have developed and implemented satellite-driven information products that make data actionable for a variety of stakeholders, supporting sustainable development, risk mitigation, and decision making.

I am passionate about the value of space and satellite data for enhancing safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability. I have received multiple honors and awards for my research and contributions to the field of satellite earth observations, including a NASA Group Achievement Award. I value research and development, and I welcome opportunities for collaboration to foster innovation among different sectors. I am also an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Michigan Technological University, where I share my knowledge and expertise with students and researchers.

      I have the role of project manager, with activities ranging from proposals writing, project planning, project execution and client follow up for satellite based data products and services.

      I am responsible for guiding the successful technical development, implementation and validation of observational products and processing chain. I support the definition of user requirements. I have been active in defining the strategy, roadmap, and feature definition for a product or product line.

      In my role as principal consultant, I am leading development of services and products based on satellite observations and satisfying the assurance , maritime and O&G sectors' needs.

      My activities might involve:
      1. image processing, retrieval of metrics of interests, analytics and aggregation with non-EO data,
      2. leading technical developments of new services based on EO in Digital Solutions,
      3. building on combined business and technical capabilities in collaborations with others BAs (e.g. O&G),
      4. working closely with various BAs, understanding their core business and processes, and bringing the resources of remote sensing to bear on business challenges,
      5. leading and supporting generation of competing offers from different bidders, in order to obtain an award of business activity in works, supply, or service contracts,
      6. creating awareness and introducing GIS digitalization opportunities from remote sensing technology and data to improve user experiences,
      7. support the business in having road-maps and to secure effective developments and execution,
      8. developing concrete initiatives from idea to ready for execution,
      9. acting as project manager,
      10. Training personnel and helping team members develop their skills.

      I have been running projects, where I built experience in deploying models based on spectroscopy and AI to extracts from satellite imagery useful geo-information in order to support assets risk management and operation, environment risks, due diligence,
      ESG.
