About Me

Hi, I am Jiancheng Pan (潘建成). I am a visiting researcher at Institute for Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Technology ( in Bulgaria), Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, working with Prof. Luc Van Gool and Dr. Danda Paudel on Multi-modal LLMs for Earth Observation.

Previously, I received my Master’s degree from the College of Computer Science and Technology, Zhejiang University of Technology in 2025, under the supervision of Prof. Cong Bai. At the same time, I was a joint-program / visiting research student at Department of Earth System Science, Tsinghua University (2023-2025), under the supervision of Prof. Xiaomeng Huang.

My research interests include Multimodal Learning, Data-centric AI, Foundation Model, Multi-modal LLMs, and with their application on Earth Observation [GeoAI]. I am also dedicated to tackling challenges in Earth sciences through machine learning, with an emphasis on advancing sustainable development [ML4Sustain].

Our Remote Sensing / Earth Observation Foundation Models:

Foundation Detector: LAE-DINO
Generative Foundation Model: EarthSynth

I believe in earning through skills and achieving through collaboration. If you are interested in my research or have any questions, suggestions, or collaboration ideas, please feel free to contact me. Email or WeChat[id: jaychempan] is OK.
