In 2022, he was ranked the third leading Remote Sensing scholar in the U.S for the prior 5-year period.
Sina Jarahizadeh
CTO and Founder
Sina Jarahizadeh is a Ph.D. candidate in Remote Sensing Engineering and Photogrammetry at SUNY ESF. He has more than ten years of experience in AI and software development. His focus is on developing photogrammetry and remote sensing algorithms to tackle environmental issues. He has about ten years of hands-on experience flying drones as a licensed drone pilot. Sina’s Ph.D. research combines AI including machine learning and deep learning, computer vision, and geospatial analytics together with software development skills for forest 3D modeling.
Our Story
ZaminSense was founded by two passionate innovators, Bahram Salehi and Sina Jarahizadeh, who share an interest in geospatial remote sensing and photogrammetry for over three decades. With their expertise in these fields, they both envisioned the untapped potential of increased technologies to address some of the world’s most complex environmental challenges.
Driven by a vision to open up the possibilities of satellite, drone, and AI technologies, ZaminSense was formed to combine the finest of remote sensing tools with smart, actionable intelligence that can make a real impact in the physical world. The founders have invested years in advancing the science of geospatial intelligence, always with the goal of pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
From forest health monitoring to water quality monitoring, ZaminSense is committed to delivering solutions that allow private and public sectors to make more data-informed decisions. We are believers in technology’s ability to drive sustainability, foster conservation, and protect our planet’s most precious assets.
