Over the last few months SENSE, we’ve had two excellent PhD Researcher working with us to explore the future of SENSE training. Whilst we do not currently have funding for future cohorts of PhD students, there is still a need for specialist Earth Observation (EO) training to maintain and upskill our space sector workforce.
Emily Butler led on market research exploring what space sector companies training needs are and the practicalities of sending employees on courses. Leam Howe worked on the existing SENSE training materials and packaging sample modules focusing on EO fundamentals and machine learning methods with practical examples. They worked with us over three months as secondments from their PhDs to help us scope the potential for future expansion. We would like to thank than for their time and effort in supporting SENSE CDT. Their insights and contributions are greatly valued and have provided a strong foundation for shaping training that is relevant, impactful, and aligned with the evolving needs of our community.
