Summary
Polina Lemenkova is a research-focused geospatial scientist and data analyst with 15 years of international experience applying remote sensing, GIS and quantitative methods to environmental, marine and ecosystem research. Holding certifications from IBM, Microsoft and Google, she combines production-grade scripting in R and Python with advanced cartographic visualization (GMT, GRASS) to translate satellite imagery and DEMs into actionable scientific outputs. Her career spans applied projects from deep-sea bathymetry and Arctic mapping to land‑use and biodiversity assessments across Africa, Europe and Asia, and she currently holds multiple research fellowships in France and abroad. Polina is a prolific academic author (see ResearchGate) who also develops automated signal extraction and image‑processing workflows for historical and modern datasets—a practical skill that distinguishes her research. Fluent in several languages and trained across leading European and Asian institutions, she bridges field science, data engineering and publication-driven research.
