Jakub Nalepa
Department of Algorithmics and Software, Faculty of Automatic Control, Electronics And Computer Science, Silesian University of Technology, Scientific Advisor in KP Labs
Is currently an Associate Professor at the Silesian University of Technology, Poland. He is also the Scientific Advisor with KP Labs where he shapes the scientific and industrial AI objectives of the company related to, among others, Earth Observation (EO), on-board and on-the-ground satellite data analysis, machine learning, and image analysis. He has been pivotal in designing the on-board deep learning capabilities of the Intuition-1 mission (KP Labs), and has contributed to other missions, including CHIME and OPS-SAT (European Space Agency). His interests focus on (deep) machine learning, multi/hyperspectral data analysis, signal processing, remote sensing, and tackling practical challenges, which arise in EO to deploy scalable EO solutions. Dr. Nalepa was the General Chair of the HYPERVIEW Challenge at IEEE ICIP 2022 focusing on the estimation of soil parameters from HSIs on board Intuition-1, and the General Chair of the HYPERVIEW 2 Challenge at the Explainable AI for Space (EASi) Workshop at ECAI 2025.
