Head the Science & Innovation department and sit on the company’s leadership team. The department turns research into capabilities that can be priced and sold: machine learning and AI models and pipelines, multisensor Earth Observation methods and mineral prospectivity mapping. Own the R&D roadmap and the IP strategy, scientific quality and methodological sign-off before a capability is released, and the documentation of the ML pipelines. The team works in two modes: developing new capabilities, and supporting the delivery, product and engineering teams with ready methods and scientific advice, including moving research results into production. Develop the scientific team. R&D: EXPLOMAT, GRENMINE, RISPECT.

Developed and validated remote-sensing methodologies (Sentinel-1/2, Landsat, EMIT, thermal) for mineral exploration. Integrated multisensor data with ML and knowledge-based reasoning for prospectivity mapping and oversaw methodology rigour. R&D projects: EXPLOMAT (Sustainable Exploration Technologies for Raw Materials Discovery), GRENMINE (Gravitational Energy Storage in the post-Mine areas), RISPECT (Regional Innovation Scheme Project for Exploration Capabilities and Technologies).

Led an R&D team developing satellite-based AI solutions for the mining and environmental sector. Managed or took part in NCBR-funded R&D projects (including HYPE4EXPLOR, ECOSAT and MINECAM), from methodology design to delivery. Directed the development of mineral-prospecting and mine-monitoring tools using EO data and machine learning.

Developed machine learning models for satellite-image analysis in the New Space sector; applied computer vision and deep learning to Earth Observation data.

R&D project on GPR-based detection and corrosion assessment of steel bars in reinforced concrete, as R&D team leader, funded by the National Science Centre. Projects funded by ESA: Geolocation Support for Outdoor Tourism Project and Global Yacht Positioning System. GPR surveys as team leader (planning, measurements, interpretation). Polish-Georgian Expedition, Kutaisi Archaeological Landscape, Georgia.

GPR acquisition and interpretation; geodetic and environmental GIS analysis. Data analysis at Visimind Ltd (October 2015 – February 2016).
