Main

Veronica Andreo

I am a biologist and I hold a PhD in Biological Sciences and an MSc in Remote Sensing and GIS applications. I work as a researcher for CONICET and lecturer at Gulich Institute of the Argentinian Space Agency (CONAE) in Córdoba, Argentina. My research is focused on uncovering environmental drivers of vector-borne disease outbreaks through statistical and machine learning methods. I am mostly interested in environmental features/changes that can be derived from satellite image analysis, remote sensing time series and GIS-based techniques.

I am part of the GRASS GIS Development team and currently serve as PSC chair. I am a strong advocate for OSGeo and free and open source software for geo-spatial (FOSS4G).
