Prof. Dr. Kirsten de Beurs
Kirsten's research not only leverages remote sensing to investigate environmental processes, but also explores its application in understanding human environment interactions.
Throughout her academic career, Kirsten has gained experience with both open source and proprietary software, giving her a clear perspective on the advantages and disadvantages of each. In her keynote, she will discuss the importance of open source software, particularly in a rapidly evolving technological landscape where transparency is not always guaranteed.
