Dr. Alby Duarte Rocha is currently a Research Assistant at the Department of Geoinformation Processing for Landscape and Environmental Planning of Technische Universität Berlin (TUB). Rocha’s research focuses on the understanding of spatiotemporal patterns in the environment using Remote Sensing data by modelling parameters such as vegetation biochemical and biophysical properties, soil moisture content and evapotranspiration. Bachelor in Statistics (UFPR/Brazil) and PhD in Remote Sensing (ITC/Netherlands), he models complex ecological processes using empirical and physical-based approaches. Although surrounded by high technology, his academic work is moved by a great desire to practice a more humanised and meaningful use of data science.
