KTH Space Center

KTH Space Center coordinates and promotes space-related activity at several KTH departments, with an overarching objective of establishing KTH as a "Space University" and a hub for Swedish space research and technology.

Interested in the use of AI for monitoring environmental changes?

During World Space Week 2024, KTH Space Center hosted a seminar titled "Earth Observation Big Data and Deep Learning for Global Environmental Change Monitoring," with Dr. Yifang Ban  as the speaker. She presented groundbreaking methods  for monitoring environmental changes using satellite data and AI, focusing on wildfires and urbanization.

If you missed the seminar, you can watch it here:

For those interested in delving deeper into the topic, KTH also offers several courses in geoinformatics and remote sensing, including these, where Dr. Yifang Ban is the course coordinator:

AG1321 Remote Sensing Technology, 7.5 credits

AG2413 Digital Image Processing and Applications, 7.5 credits

After completing one of these courses, it is also possible to do your thesis within this exciting field of research.
