Bastian Siegmann

Bastian Siegmann was born in Halle/Saale, Germany, in 1984. He received the Diploma degree in geography from Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg, Halle, Germany, in 2005, and the Ph.D. degree in remote sensing from the University of Osnabrück, Osnabrück, Germany, in 2017. His dissertation focused on the retrieval of biochemical and structural vegetation parameters from imaging spectroscopy data in preparation for the German hyperspectral satellite mission EnMAP. Since 2017, he has been a Postdoctoral Researcher at Forschung- szentrum Jülich, Jülich, Germany, and he extended his research scope to the retrieval and scaling of remotely-sensed solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) to better understand the physiological response of plants to changing environmental conditions. There, he is responsible for all activities related to the hyperspectral airborne imaging spectrometer HyPlant, which is the official airborne demonstrator for the upcoming FLEX satellite mission of the European Space Agency (ESA), Darmstadt, Germany.
