About Me

As a PhD candidate at MIT and consultant for Planet Labs, I am interested in satellite remote sensing and integrated environmental and socioeconomic modeling for sustainable development. I'm motivated by applications that combat the climate crisis, protect biodiversity, and uplift historically oppressed and marginalized communities.

Key focuses

Satellite Remote Sensing and Integrated Modeling

Satellite Remote Sensing and Integrated Modeling

Satellite Remote Sensing and Integrated Modeling

I analyze forest change in California, flood inundation in Indonesia, and invasive plants in Benin for my PhD research. In collaboration with Planet Labs and NASA, I also work on satellite data analyses for forest and mangrove carbon estimation.
