Cho holds a PhD in hyperspectral remote sensing from the International Institute for Geoinformation Science and Earth Observation, Enschede, and the University of Wageningen, Netherlands. His key research interest involves developing earth observation tools, applications or products that support planning and decision-making for biodiversity conservation in rural landscapes, protected areas, and food production, particularly in Africa; hyperspectral imagery, and active remote sensing (lidar and radar) for assessing and monitoring floral diversity, vegetation condition (e.g. nutrient status) and productivity, and land-cover change processes at different spatial scales
