Summary
Aleksandra Zaforemska is a geospatial scientist and recent PhD whose research marries 3D reality capture with time-series point cloud analysis to monitor wind impacts on trees. With a decade of experience spanning academic research, teaching undergraduate GIS and remote sensing, and industry placements at Met Office and Nestlé, she blends rigorous field and lab methods with practical data science. Based at Newcastle University’s EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Geospatial Systems, she has applied advanced remote sensing and data-processing workflows in international collaborations including a visiting stint at the Finnish Geospatial Research Institute. Known for translating complex spatial datasets into actionable insights, she also brings hands-on experience developing immersive VR web applications and delivering technical training—skills that make her equally effective at research, teaching, and applied project delivery.
