🧑 Mohammad El Sakka
📍IRIT – Toulouse (France)
Coming from a computer science and aerospace background, I started my PhD thesis at IRIT, University of Toulouse III, in machine learning in agriculture in 2023. My research as a Phd student focuses on applying artificial intelligence and remote sensing techniques to improve agriculture.
I recently participated in the AI4AGRI summer school (2024) in Brasov, Romania. During that event I had the wonderful opportunity of exchanging with senior professionals, experts, researchers, and other PhD students on different topics about smart agriculture. I learnt new skills in hyper/multi-spectral and SAR image processing, as well as UAV and satellite remote sensing.
It was also a great experience to be introduced and to manipulate tools that are used in-situ in smart farms today in addition to the theoretical lectures or labworks, all while discovering Romania’s culture.
AI4AGRI summer school allowed me to improve my skills on some topics that will be helpful for my thesis and future career.
