Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVeronica Andreo is a researcher and lecturer with a PhD in Biological Sciences and an MSc in Remote Sensing and GIS, specializing in satellite-based environmental drivers of vector-borne disease outbreaks. Based at the Gulich Institute (CONAE) in Córdoba, Argentina, she blends ecological epidemiology with time-series remote sensing and GIS to translate satellite signals into actionable public-health insights. With nine years of professional experience and international stints including Johns Hopkins, University of Twente, and a recent visiting scholarship at NC State, she brings a strong interdisciplinary and quantitative toolkit. Veronica is an active leader in the open-source geospatial community as PSC chair of GRASS GIS and Program Committee chair for FOSS4G 2021, championing FOSS4G adoption and mentoring newcomers. Beyond research, she has a track record implementing GRASS GIS algorithms for flood and fire risk and has trained students and high-school mentees in geospatial science. Her uncommon combination of biological field expertise and production-ready GIS algorithm development makes her adept at turning complex environmental data into practical surveillance tools.
