Atefe Choopani is a Ph.D. student in the ArGEnCo Department at ULiège and at the same time she is employed at the Geological Survey of Belgium (inside the RBINS), to play a role as a Research Assistant in the LASUGEO project.
She holds a Master’s degree in Radar Remote Sensing from the Dept. of CEE, Shiraz University (Iran). She has worked on some RS fields, especially InSAR. Integration of Hydrogeology with InSAR and working on natural hazards are a couple of her major interesting topics. Moreover, she has hands-on experiences of groundwater modelling and AI-based modelling.
