Haonan Jiang is a Ph.D. trained remote sensing scientist with a decade of experience applying SAR and InSAR techniques to measure urban surface motion and explore bistatic imaging geometries. Trained at Wuhan University and Liaoning Technical University, he blends rigorous academic research with hands-on implementation from visiting roles at GFZ Helmholtz Centre and as an HIDA fellow. Haonan contributes to scalable machine learning infrastructure—refactoring core GBDT components in the Angel-ML parameter server—bringing practical backend and ML engineering skills to geospatial problems. Based in Potsdam, he navigates both algorithm development and production-level code, often bridging domain expertise in photogrammetry with software-driven model improvements. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex radar physics into reproducible pipelines and to integrate new loss functions and metrics that improve model accuracy.
