LINK TO RESEARCH PROJECTS
The MSc topics link to several ongoing larger research projects that allow being part of international research teams - both projects just started:
UN-Habitat estimates that over one billion people around the world live in slums, which are often located in hazard-prone areas.
Deep learning algorithms can achieve great accuracies, but there are also concerns about biases and generalizability to unseen data.
Humanitarian organizations such as the Red Cross Red Crecent and Unicef use risk models to identify vulnerable populations and mitigate the affects of natural disasters.
With the increasing availability of remotely sensed data, there is a pressing need to develop efficient and scalable methods for converting satellite images into useful information.
