Summary
Edgar Valverde is a Peruvian environmental engineer and PhD student specializing in landscape ecology and remote sensing for environmental health. He is pursuing the Copernicus Master in Digital Earth across the University of Salzburg and the University of South Brittany, reflecting a strong international academic footprint. With about nine years of research experience, he has led remote sensing projects using QGIS, Google Earth Engine, R, and Python to inform malaria vector habitat mapping and dengue outbreak prediction. His work includes identifying malaria vector breeding sites with drone multispectral imagery and assessing geographic accessibility to health facilities in Peru, as well as time-series dengue forecasting using ECMWF-derived environmental predictors. He currently conducts PhD research at the University of Glasgow, focused on populations and ecosystem health. A proactive, cross-border researcher, he combines geospatial analytics with public health to translate data into actionable insights that improve life quality.
