Toni Schmidt

Hi there, I am glad you found me! 🙋‍♂️

I am a PhD student developing a data fusion framework to estimate high-resolution subsurface soil moisture through machine learning using multi-source data from high-resolution remote sensing and cosmic-ray neutron sensing. This project is part of the PhD cohort MoDEV.

Since 2021, I am a member of the research group Terrestrial Water Dynamics at the Department of Remote Sensing at Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) Leipzig, Germany. The department is also embedded in the Remote Sensing Centre for Earth System Research (RSC4Earth), jointly founded with the Faculty of Physics and Earth Sciences at the University of Leipzig.

Interests at a glance: remote sensing, data science, data fusion, machine learning, Python, data visualization
