Dr. Bastian Siegmann is a senior scientist at the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences, Department of Plant Sciences (IBG-2) at Research Centre Jülich. His work focuses on sustainable agriculture through plant phenotyping, plant-environment interaction analysis, and alternative biomass technology development.
- Trained geographer with 10+ years in hyperspectral optical remote sensing of vegetation
- Leads Shoot Dynamics group specializing in remote-sensing applications
- Manages HyPlant hyperspectral airborne imaging spectrometer for ESA's FLEX mission
Research Interests center on solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) retrieval, scaling, and interpretation to understand plant physiological responses to environmental changes. His work integrates molecular, physiological, and ecological approaches to advance bioeconomy and climate adaptation strategies.
Scientific Contributions include developing UAV-based canopy height models for lodging quantification, HyPlant sensor calibration for SIF mapping, and multi-sensor approaches for crop stress detection. His research spans from leaf-level spectral analysis to satellite-scale vegetation monitoring, with significant emphasis on:
- Diurnal SIF dynamics across scales
- Spectral invariants theory for leaf-scale fluorescence
- Hybrid modeling for canopy-to-photosystem downscaling
- Evapotranspiration estimation using hyperspectral-SIF fusion
- Stress response timing in agricultural systems
