Dr. Moncef Bouaziz | Soil Fertility | Research Excellence Award

TU Bergakademie Freiberg | Germany

Dr. Moncef Bouaziz is an environmental engineer and remote sensing specialist with extensive academic and applied research experience in environmental monitoring, geospatial analysis, and decision-support systems. He earned his PhD in Environmental Remote Sensing from TU Bergakademie Freiberg, following advanced training in environmental engineering and water and soil management. Since 2022, he has served as scientific staff at TU Bergakademie Freiberg, where he develops spatial decision support systems for post-mining environmental change assessment, leads 3D modeling and platform development, and applies machine learning techniques in Python for remote modeling and forecasting. His academic experience includes prior appointments as an assistant professor at the University of Sfax and as scientific staff at TU Dresden, contributing to projects on land degradation, aeolian dynamics, drought assessment, and ecosystem monitoring. Dr. Bouaziz has coordinated and participated in several nationally and internationally funded research initiatives, including DAAD-supported climate change education platforms and European environmental monitoring programs. His research interests focus on remote sensing–based land degradation analysis, drought prediction, climate change impacts, post-mining hazard assessment, and the integration of machine learning with geospatial data. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications in high-impact international journals and actively supervises graduate and undergraduate students. Through interdisciplinary research, teaching, and international collaboration, he aims to advance sustainable environmental management and evidence-based spatial planning.
