first EAGLE MSc. student defended his PhD

one of our very first EAGLE M.Sc. students Maninder Dhillon successfully defended his PhD! Congratulations by the whole EAGLE program and of course all EAGLE students – many of the young and older students joined his presentation and listened to his topic of “Potential of Remote Sensing in Modeling Long-Term Crop Yields”. Various other EAGLEs will be defending their PhD as well in the near future, so stay tuned for more news on EAGLE M.Sc. students now receiving their PhD degree.
