M. Belgiu

M. Belgiu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth Observation Science (ITC-EOS) at the Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC), University of Twente. Their research focuses on applying data-centric AI methods to analyze multi-temporal Earth Observation (EO) data for environmental challenges, particularly in agriculture.

• Developing AI solutions for crop mapping and yield forecasting
• Addressing scarce-label environments and transferability in algorithms
• Initiating novel research on EO/spatial data for hidden hunger challenges

Expertise spans remote sensing, satellite imagery (e.g., Sentinel-2), and machine learning. Their work intersects Earth Observation, Geo-Information, AI methods, and food security.
