Salim Lamine is a distinguished scientist, serving as a professor and international consultant specializing in remote sensing and precision agriculture. He earned his PhD through a collaborative program between Aberystwyth University in the United Kingdom and the University of Sciences and Technology Houari Boumediene in Algeria. His academic pursuits further extended to the University of Nottingham in the UK, where he delved into GNSS applications, and he gained valuable research experience as an assistant researcher at the University of Aberystwyth. In 2017 Dr. Lamine was honored with the prestigious International Prize for the Environment, “ECOWORLD,” by the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. He holds mas ter’s degrees from both the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Bari in Italy and the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chania in Greece. Currently, he is serving as a member of the editorial board for the prominent Taylor & Francis journal, Geocarto International. Additionally, he extends his expertise as a valued member of the Advisory Panel for several MDPI Journals. Dr. Lamine’s research portfolio encompasses a wide range of multidisciplinary areas, including remote sensing, precision agriculture, hyperspectral imaging, drone-based data analysis, crop yield prediction, field spectroradiometry, water and soil management, agri-biosystems engineering, gis and space mapping, machine learning and SVAT models. Dr. Lamine has made substantial contribu tions to the academic realm, evidenced by over 30 peer-reviewed publications in esteemed journals and participation in more than 150 international confer ences. His scholarly influence also extends to the authorship of several book chapters. He authored a book entitled REMOTE SENSING: Multispectral & Hyperspectral Applications published in 2020.
