Bio
Celina Anael Farías is a geologist with a solid foundation in remote sensing. She earned her degree in Geology from the National University of Córdoba, Argentina. From the early stages of her academic career, she engaged in research initiatives in Earth Observation, including internships at the Argentinian Space Agency (CONAE) and the National Research Council of Italy (CNR), the latter supported by a scholarship from the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and the University of Pavia. Her previous work has focused on subsidence detection and monitoring using InSAR techniques, as well as deformation time-series analysis through statistical approaches.
Current Role
She is currently a student in the National PhD in Earth Observation (DNOT) programme at Sapienza University of Rome. Her PhD scholarship is part of the IRIDE project, and her research explores the potential of satellite Earth Observation technologies and artificial intelligence to advance sustainable water-resource management and support comprehensive risk assessment.
Areas of Expertise
Celina’s expertise lies in InSAR processing, time-series analysis, and multispectral image analysis. Her remote-sensing background, combined with her geology foundation, provides both advanced skills in satellite data processing and a solid understanding of Earth systems, supporting accurate interpretation and analysis of results. She contributes by developing approaches that integrate satellite data and AI for monitoring hydrogeological processes, with the goal of promoting sustainable water-resource use and effective risk management.
Vision for the Future
Driven by the awareness that water resources have been poorly managed for many years, and that access to clean freshwater is becoming increasingly limited, she is committed to contributing to their preservation by developing innovative satellite-based tools and algorithms that can enhance water-resources management and support resilience to hydrogeological risks. With her PhD research, she aims to make a contribution to the sustainability of this vital resource for life.
