About
Verónica Andreo is a biologist. She holds a PhD in Biological Sciences and an MSc in Remote Sensing and GIS applications. She works as a researcher for CONICET and lecturer at Gulich Institute - Argentinian Space Agency (CONAE) in Córdoba, Argentina. Her research is focused on uncovering environmental drivers of vector-borne disease outbreaks. She is mostly interested in those environmental features that can be derived by means of satellite image analysis, remote sensing time series and GIS-based techniques.
Verónica is part of the GRASS GIS Development team and currently serves as the PSC chair. She is a strong advocate for OSGeo and free and open source software for geo-spatial (FOSS4G). She was the Program Committee chair for FOSS4G 2021. Among other things, she has volunteered as a mentor for GRASS GIS in the Google Code-In contest introducing high school students into the Open Source world.
