He/Him.

Post doctoral researcher at Clark University.

About

As a dedicated remote sensing specialist, my passion lies in harnessing the power of cutting-edge technologies to better understand our planet. I am particularly intrigued by the potential of machine learning and deep learning models to study and investigate land cover changes due to climate change. Currently, I am a post-doctoral researcher at Clark University, where I focus on building geospatial foundation models to improve the accuracy of remote sensing data analysis for environmental monitoring applications.


On the agenda

  1. Bridging the Divide - Translating AI Advancement into Earth Impact

    May. 17 '24, 02:45pm
    Session
    The Forum (South)

    Deriving insights from satellite imagery using AI/ML relies heavily on ground reference data (or labels). These data are scarce outside the world's developed regions primarily due to a lack of investment and infrastructure to collect them. Foundation Models, however, promise to change this paradigm and break the barrier for everyone to benefit from AI/ML advancements, even with limited label data. We will discuss how end users can apply new Large Earth Foundation Models to solve the data scarcity problem.
