I specialize in hydrology and remote sensing (microwave links and satellite products), with a strong focus on rainfall monitoring. Over the past few years, my research has centered on surface hydrology, particularly the estimation of precipitation intensities using passive microwave and infrared remote sensing. Additional A key aspect of my current work is the use of microwave link attenuation from telecommunication networks for rainfall estimation. This approach leverages signal attenuation in commercial microwave links—originally designed for wireless communication—as a cost-effective and high-resolution alternative to traditional rain gauges and radar systems. By analyzing the attenuation of microwave signals, I contribute to improving rainfall detection and intensity estimation, particularly in data-scarce environments.
