Interview

I spoke to Solomiia Kurchaba, a PhD student at the Leiden Institute for Advanced Computer Science (LIACS), Leiden University. We met when I was still a master’s student. I’m grateful to have Solomiia as a colleague. Especially when I had just started, it was very helpful to learn a bit about the experiences of someone who already works multiple years on ML solutions for EO.

Berend Schuit is my colleague and a PhD candidate at SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research, and studies methane as a part of [SRON’s Earth programme](https://earth.sron.nl/thema/methane/). My own research is directly based on the work he has done for methane plume detection. He helped me get up to speed on the challenges associated with detecting methane emissions using machine learning. This means he has loads of experience answering my questions, so I was excited to talk to him!
