Dr Saheba Bhatnagar is a remote sensing scientist specialised in the analysis and interpretation of remote sensed imagery including multispectral, infrared, hyperspectral, optical drone and LiDAR, leveraging tools in Python. Her PhD dissertation involved mapping the health of wetlands' vegetation (in specific peatlands like raised-bogs, fens) in Ireland using optical data (satellite and drone) with machine and deep learning along with integration of satellite and drone imagery for an EPA project 'EcoMetrics'. During her master's, she worked on integrating elevation model with hyperspectral data (from NEON) for an active learning classification technique.

Saheba was a postdoc reasearcher prior to joining BeZero. Her postdoctoral research included automatic detection of wheelruts in harvested forest using deep learning, along with tree species detection in Norway. She also worked as an consultant for AllSkog overseeing their deep learning framework for tree-species detection.

Selected publications

2023, Development of hybrid models to estimate gross primary productivity at a near-natural Peatland using sentinel 2 data and a light use efficiency model

2022, Mapping wheel-ruts from timber harvesting operations using deep learning techniques in drone imagery

2021, Ecohydrological metrics for vegetation communities in turloughs (ephemeral karstic wetlands)
