Dr. Mirela Beloiu Schwenke is a Lecturer at ETH Zurich's Department of Environmental Systems Science, specializing in forest ecology, remote sensing, and climate change impacts. Her research focuses on understanding forest resilience to climate-driven disturbances like droughts and developing advanced monitoring techniques using remote sensing and machine learning. She contributes to projects such as the SNSF COST Action for tree species identification and the UPSCALE initiative for forest vitality monitoring. Education & Research Interests PhD in Environmental Sciences (implied from professional context) Focus areas: Tree mortality dynamics, drought tolerance mechanisms, and integrating ground-based and remote sensing data Key Projects Leading development of deep learning models for tree species identification in mixed forests Contributing to global forest monitoring frameworks through Sentinel satellite integration Investigating drought impacts on sapling recovery and forest succession patterns Awards & Recognition Recipient of the 2023 Young Scientist Award for her presentation on tree mortality mechanisms at the EARSel Symposium. Teaching Teaches courses on forest ecosystems and practical field methodologies for environmental science students. Grants & Collaborations Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) funded projects International collaborations with institutions like the Africa CDC and ICOS Switzerland Labs & Teams Part of ETH Zurich's forest ecology and remote sensing research groups, actively contributing to open-access databases like 'deadtrees.earth'.
