Toure, Seynabou
Seynabou Toure is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Remote Sensing, Time-Series Satellite Image Analysis, and AI at Aarhus University. Before joining the Department of Environmental Sciences, she worked as a Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) Postdoctoral Fellow at Geokinesia in Barcelona. She was a Lecturer at Gaston Berger University (UGB) in Saint-Louis, Senegal. She holds a Master's degree in Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering (2012) and a Ph.D. in Applied Physics focusing on Image Processing (2019) from Gaston Berger University, with joint supervision at INSA Rennes in France. Her thesis, awarded with Very Honourable Mention, focused on coastline detection from very high-resolution satellite imagery along the Senegalese coast.
Research interest
Seynabou is currently involved in projects on improving InSAR measurement density and enhancing InSAR phase unwrapping with deep learning, as well as environmental monitoring applications such as pollution tracking and illegal waste site detection.
Mentoring
Seynabou has supervised several Master's theses on topics ranging from cloud segmentation using deep learning to pollution characterization and illegal dump detection from satellite imagery. She is also co-supervising a Ph.D. on deep learning-based early ground motion detection using InSAR. Additionally, she has served as a jury member for postgraduate defenses.
