Head of Science & Innovation

TerraEye

Professional Summary

I’m Head of Science & Innovation at TerraEye, where I lead the team developing geospatial intelligence solutions for the mining industry across the whole project lifecycle — from exploration to reclamation. I have over 15 years of experience in geospatial data science, more than five of them focused specifically on Earth Observation, and my work sits where EO science meets industrial deployment.

I’ve contributed to projects funded by the European Space Agency, the European Commission and Poland’s National Centre for Research and Development, and worked on solutions later adopted by a major global resource group. My focus is integrating multisensor data and applying advanced geospatial analytics and machine learning to mineral exploration and geological interpretation.
