I work at the intersection of technical tools such as GIS (geomatics) and remote sensing, and applied fields such as forestry, wildlife conservation, and natural resource management. My research and technical consulting span scales ranging from individual tree surveys to multi-million-acre protected landscapes. As a Visiting Assistant Professor at UNH and Director of the Basic and Applied Spatial Analysis Lab, I focus on cutting-edge technologies such as Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS or UAV) and deep learning algorithms to evaluate their effectiveness in meeting the needs of local land managers. Most recently, my research has been to investigate the ability of new UAS methods for classifying oak tree recovery following the outbreak of spongy moth (Lymantria dispar). As a technical consultant for GIS, Image Analysis, and Machine Learning applications, my collaborators have included Tetra Tech, Wildlife Conservation Society, the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the German Agency for International Cooperation (giz GmbH), SERVIR-SEA (NASA), Birdlife International, SIG-NAL, and various state and governmental agencies. These projects, at some points, simultaneously span nine countries across three continents. My core area of expertise and interests include spatial data science, geovisualizaiton, spatial data accuracy, and natural resource conservation.
