M. (Mahmoud) Ahmed
Profile
I am a Sudanese researcher with a Civil Engineering background. I earned my B.Sc. degree from the University of Khartoum in 2020 and continued my academic journey by completing an MSc in Water and Sustainable Development at the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education in 2023. Within the Land and Water management department, my MSc thesis focused on using Multispectral satellite data to retrieve above-ground Nitrogen concentrations in crop canopies to assess in-season crop stress and provide near real-time fertilization advisories. Building on my research interests, I am now a PhD candidate with the Mathematical Geodesy and Positioning research team.
Research
My PhD research focuses on leveraging remote sensing of the land surface to enhance nitrogen deposition estimations by the LOTOS-EUROS model and develop an ecosystem Digital Twin for the Veluwe area in the Netherlands. This Digital Twin will be instrumental in projecting biodiversity loss, climate change impacts, and informing legislative responses. Specifically, I aim to extract consistent essential variables relevant to the LOTOS-EUROS model using various remote sensing data types to improve nitrogen deposition estimates for the Veluwe. Additionally, I will utilize the capacity of digital twins to test scenarios designed to achieve a balance between urban development, agriculture, and biodiversity conservation in both the short and long term.
