Yady Tatiana Solano-Correa received the Bachelor (B.S.) degree in Physics Engineering (honorable mention) from the University of Cauca, Cauca, Colombia, in 2011; and the Ph.D. degree (magna cum laude) in communication and information technologies from the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science, University of Trento, Trento, Italy, in 2018.
From 2009 to 2013, she was a Researcher for the research groups: Optics and Laser Group (GOL) and Environmental Studies Group (GEA), University of Cauca. From 2013 to 2020, she was a researcher for the Remote Sensing for Digital Earth Unit, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento and a member of the RSLab, University of Trento. She has been a Professor at the Universidad Tecnológica de Bolívar (Colombia) and a Researcher at the University of Cauca (Colombia). She is currently a Professor at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana - Cali, Colombia.
She works, and has worked, within the context of several projects with a focus on analyzing information for climate change, precision agriculture and developing advanced change detection techniques for optical satellite time series data, among them: 1) RICCLISA—Interinstitutional network of climate change and food security, Colombia. Founded by the Colombian administrative department of Science, Technology and Innovation—COLCIENCIAS; 2) MS-TS - Analysis of MultiSensor VHR image Time Series, in collaboration with Digital Globe Foundation; 3) SEOM - Scientific Exploitation of Operational Missions - S2-4Sci Land and Water - Multitemporal Analysis. Founded by European Space Agency (ESA); and 4) CCI+ HR LC - High Resolution Land Cover Essential Climate Variable. Founded by ESA.
Her research interests include remote sensing environmental applications, change detection, both on medium resolution multispectral images (e.g., Landsat and Sentinel-2) and very high-resolution (VHR) images, multitemporal analysis of short- and long-time series, multisensor multitemporal image preprocessing and information extraction, pattern recognition and image classification.
Dr. Solano-Correa was a recipient of the Best Student Oral Presentation Award at the MultiTemp 2017 Conference, Bruges, Belgium, in 2017 and the Best three PhD thesis presented in 2018-2019 in the area of Geoscience and Remote Sensing (GRS), in Italy. She has been reviewer for the IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) and other international conferences. She is a referee for the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING, the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, the IEEE GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING LETTERS; and several other international journals.
