Remote Sensing & GIS Specialist | Deep Learning for Earth Observation | Academic Writing & Editing Expert

Profile Summary

I am a GIS and Remote Sensing Specialist with a Ph.D. in Remote Sensing and GIS, focused on developing deep learning-based solutions for Earth observation challenges. My academic and professional journey spans over seven years, during which I have worked on advanced geospatial analytics, spatiotemporal image fusion, depth estimation from aerial imagery, and marine debris detection using satellite data. Currently, I serve as a Postdoctoral Researcher while also contributing to a high-speed rail project as a GIS and Remote Sensing Engineer. I have hands-on experience in geospatial software including QGIS, ArcGIS, ENVI, Google Earth Engine, and various photogrammetry tools. My programming expertise includes Python (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Pandas), MATLAB, R, and SQL, which I use to automate workflows, process large-scale geospatial datasets, and implement AI-driven models. I offer services in academic writing and editing, literature reviews, and scientific consulting—especially in the fields of Earth observation, GIS, and AI applications in remote sensing. I have published in peer-reviewed journals, presented at international conferences, and received the Best PhD Thesis Award from the IEEE GRSS Turkey Chapter.
