Many great blogs give a general overview of how to apply Machine Learning (ML) to satellite images. But none of these prepared me for all the steps you need to climb to design ML for satellite data. So, in this blog, I share some challenges you can expect when working with satellite images as an ML engineer.

Me presenting my research on AutoML4EO at COSEAL 2023 in Paris. The title slide is projected on the wall. The image is taken from the middle or back from the audience, so you can see a few rows of people. I'm standing at the front of the room, midsentence.

We need to simplify our message to help people understand our research. Here are some tips on how to communicate complex science.

Image showing a satellite image from Sentinel-2 of algal blooms in the Baltic Sea around the island of Gotland. The image is half transparent, over the image there is text that says Why it matters how you split ML4EO data. A small chunk of the image is taken apart to represent a hodout test set.

In this blog, I go in-depth on defining splits for ML4EO datasets.

Outlining feels useless because I can't stick to it anyways. I learned there is a word for my kind of people, and that's intuitive writers. Here I write about how I found a way to write complex texts without outlining.

An illustration of a path with three points: start, middle, end. The first half is squiggly with many ups and downs. There are flowers and rainbows along the way, but also dark forest and thunderclouds. The second half is uncertain and there are many possible paths, one of them not leading to the endpoint. In the middle, there is a sun, showing optimism.

I start the second half of my PhD with a research visit to Italy. I'm just as excited about this visit as about the rest of my PhD.

I was a tour guide for three years during my bachelor's. I never thought about concrete skills I learned beyond the vague 'gaining public speaking experience.', but now I understand the valuable skills it taught me that improved my confidence as a speaker

Reviewing projects is a small habit that has helped me feel better and let go. In this blog, I explain what I like about it and how I do it.

I've read productivity books and watched videos so you don't have to. Most focus on the same thing: you need to write down your thoughts for a few minutes before you act. In this blog, I explain this strategy and share how it has helped me make better decisions.
