Dong Pham
PhD, research on large-scale remote sensing applications
Overview
Remote sensing scientist, PhD, specializing in continental-scale land-cover mapping and deep learning for Earth observation. I work at the EO Lab, University of Greifswald and focus on consistent land-cover mapping across large spatial and temporal domains. I bridge research and engineering by designing transferable models/datasets and deploying them on HPC and cloud platforms.
Highlights
- BSRLC+ — Annual Europe-wide land-cover dataset (2000–2022) with cropland and peatland detail; introduced Temporal Encoding for irregular EO time series. Learn more · Method
- BSRLC-U — Tri-annual 10-m built-up type maps over two decades using Landsat + Sentinel-2; combined super-resolution and center-patch classification. Learn more
Expertise
- 6+ years building continent-scale land-cover products on FORCE datacubes and cloud platforms. Report
- Deep learning for EO time series; cross-sensor/year transfer; fractional mapping; super-resolution.
- Production pipelines on Slurm/HPC and cloud (e.g., CODE-DE).
- Domains: Urban, Forests, Croplands, Wetland vegetation.
