Research interest

My research focuses on the investigation of the relationships between biodiversity and habitat characteristic observed by remote sensing such as airborne laser scanning and synthetic aperture radar (e.g., Sentinel-1). I am particularly interested in analyzing how (3-D) spatial and temporal heterogeneity influence biodiversity depending on land use, traits, spatial scale, multiple aspects of diversity.
