About me
Hristo Nikolov, PhD
Currently is employed as Professor in Space Research and Technology Institute Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. He started his scientific career in 1991 and since than he has focused his research interest in thematic data processing of remotely sensed data from different sources – satellite observations, airborne sensors, and in-situ networks. During the years he gained vast experience in data handling and geomatics in the framework of several nationally and internationally funded projects. His PhD thesis targeted machine learning methods for multispectral data classification. Recently he is working on data fusion of optical and SAR data in order to obtain reliable operational information about the current status of the land cover focused on georisks mitigation. The results from his work are mainly produced by processing open data with open source software following the FAIR principles.
He is author of more than 120 scientific publications and conference papers in indexed issues.
