Biografia

Elena Belcore is a researcher in Geomatics at the Politecnico of Turin, Italy. In 2016, she earned her M.Sc. degree in Forestry and Environmental Science, further honing her expertise in the field. She then embarked on a career in research and international organizations, starting as a Junior officer at UNESCO-WWAP from 2016 to 2017. During this period, she worked on the collection and analysis of gender-disaggregated water data. In May 2021, defended her PhD in Geomatics at the Politecnico of Turin. Her doctoral research was focused on the classification of land cover in critical areas, using cutting-edge satellite and drone-derived imagery at very high thematic and spatial resolutions. Currently, she continues her research in the field of artificial intelligence for high-resolution environmental monitoring and mapping. Her research activities are diverse, encompassing geomatics for smart and precision agriculture. She specializes in sensor integration for creating digital twins in agriculture, as well as geospatial and multitemporal data collection. Her research interest is the semantic segmentation and classification of very high-resolution drone datasets for environmental monitoring and vegetation cover.
