Andreas Braun

Andreas Braun is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Geography, University of Tübingen, Germany. He leads lectures and courses on physical geography, geospatial methods, and remote sensing applications. Currently serving since January 2022, his academic responsibilities include teaching, thesis supervision, and research in geoinformatics with a focus on humanitarian response applications.

• PhD in Geography (2014-2019), University of Tübingen
• Baden-Württemberg Certificate in University Didactics (2015-2017)
• Professional experience at Stuttgart's Land Surveying Office (2013)

His research bridges geospatial technologies with humanitarian applications, emphasizing remote sensing for environmental monitoring in refugee camps, urban structure analysis, and climate change adaptation. Key areas include SAR data utilization, geosimulation for landscape dynamics, and machine learning applications in geospatial projects.

Scientific publications span topics like urban heat island effects in Vietnam, refugee camp monitoring using satellite imagery, and landscape change modeling. His work appears in journals such as IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations, Remote Sensing, and Journal of Flood Risk Management.

Teaching activities cover physical geography methods, GIS, remote sensing, and applied geoinformatics for both B.Sc. and M.Sc. programs. He supervises interdisciplinary projects connecting geography with social sciences, focusing on urban planning, climate adaptation, and environmental justice.
