پژوهشگر ارشد
Zeinab Shirvani is a Digital Futures Postdoctoral Fellow at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, affiliated with the Division of Geoinformatics in the Department of Urban Planning and Environment. Her research focuses on leveraging remote sensing and AI techniques to study forest disturbances, particularly in Miombo woodlands of southern Africa. She earned a PhD in Remote Sensing/Cartography from TU Dresden (Germany, 2020) and previously conducted postdoctoral research at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). Her current project, 3Dfire (2023-2025), employs Sentinel satellite data and deep learning algorithms (e.g., RAUNet5) to enhance forest fire detection and analysis. This work aims to inform climate-smart forest management strategies, addressing challenges like fire severity, anthropogenic impacts, and climate change effects in vulnerable ecosystems. Key research themes include wildfire dynamics, AI-driven spatial-temporal analysis, and sustainable forest governance. Collaborating with Professors Yifang Ban and Ulla Mörtberg, her interdisciplinary approach bridges geoinformatics, environmental science, and climate policy. Outputs include high-impact publications on fire regimes, vegetation recovery, and landscape degradation. Zeinab’s broader contributions span deforestation modeling, landslide susceptibility mapping, and drought impacts on ecosystems. Her work integrates object-based image analysis, GIS, and machine learning to solve complex environmental challenges, with applications in both academic and policy contexts.
