Hi. I'm Di Wang.

I'm a postdoctoral researcher from the Remote Sensing Research Team at Aalto University, Finland. I obtained my PhD from Technische Universität Wien (Austria) in 2018, supervised by Prof. Norbert Pfeifer. I got my B.Eng. (2012) and M.Sc. (2014) in Photogrammetry and Geomatics from Wuhan University (China) and University of Oslo (Norway), respectively.

Research Areas

Point Cloud Processing

Point cloud manipulation and modelling with photogrammetry, computer vision, computer graphics and machine learning methods for environmental applications.

LiDAR for Forestry

Fine scale and large area forest structure remeasurements and modelling with terrestrial/UAV/Airborne LiDAR techniques.
