GeoAI – CHANCES AND CHALLENGES
CV
Monika Sester has been Professor of Cartography and Geoinformatics at Leibniz Universität Hannover since November 2000. In her research she deals with automation in spatial data processing - with methods from computational geometry, optimization and especially with AI methods. She and her team develop methods for processing a wide range of data, in particular movement trajectories and environmental information. These topics are also reflected in teaching on the Geodesy and Geoinformatics degree course, as well as in courses for other disciplines such as computer science, geography and mechanical engineering. Current projects focus on sustainable mobility at universities, automatic prediction of movement trajectories, and collective perception; other projects deal with the automatic provision and analysis of data in the context of geology and geothermal energy.
