Throughout my research career, I’ve been deeply motivated by the potential of remote sensing technologies to tackle pressing ecological issues. My journey has taken me from identifying invasive plant species in coastal wetlands to mapping tree species diversity and assessing forest health. More recently, I’ve embarked on a project to map and predict global plant functional diversity using satellite data. These experiences have honed my remote sensing, ecological modeling, and conservation ecology expertise.

I’m currently engaged in an innovative project to evaluate rewilding prospects in aquatic and semi-aquatic environments. This position requires a comprehensive understanding of many factors, such as changes in land use, plant biodiversity, and alterations at the land-water interface. It’s an opportunity for me to leverage my background in remote sensing within ecology on a vital mission: restoring and preserving ecosystems.
