Computer Vision for the Environment, Sustainability, and Conservation
I'm an incoming assistant professor at MIT EECS' Faculty of AI and Decision Making and CSAIL , and a Visiting Researcher at Google working on Auto Arborist . I’ve always loved the natural world, and I've seen a growing need for technology-based approaches to conservation and sustainability challenges. My research focuses on building computer vision methods that enable global-scale environmental and biodiversity monitoring across data modalities, tackling real-world challenges including strong spatiotemporal
I seek to break down knowledge barriers between fields: I founded the successful AI for Conservation slack community (with over 1000 members), I am the Biodiversity Community Lead for Climate Change AI , and I am the founding director of the Caltech Summer School on Computer Vision Methods for Ecology . I work closely with Microsoft AI for Earth , Google Research , and Wildlife Insights where I help turn my research into usable tools for the ecological community.
