Dr. Bastian Siegmann

At the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences, Plant Sciences (IBG-2) at Forschungszentrum Jülich we focus on sustainable solutions to improve plant production for a sustainable agriculture. Key areas include plant phenotyping, analysis of plant-environment interactions, and the development of technologies for the utilization of alternative biomass. By integrating molecular, physiological, and ecological approaches, we support the bioeconomy and promote resource efficiency and adaptation to changing climate conditions.

Bastian Siegmann is a senior scientist in the Shoot Dynamics group mainly focusing on remote-sensing applications. He is a trained Geographer with more than ten years experience in the field of hyperspectral optical remote sensing of vegetation using proximal and remote sensing data recorded from UAV, airborne and satellite platforms. His main research interests are the retrieval, scaling and interpretation of remotely-sensed solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) to better understand the physiological response of plants to changing environmental conditions. Moreover, he is responsible for all activities related to the hyperspectral airborne imaging spectrometer HyPlant, which is the official airborne demonstrator for the upcoming FLuorescence EXPlorer (FLEX) satellite mission of the European Space Agency (ESA).
