About Me

My vision
The zeitgeist of environmental intelligence

For much of human history, continuous Earth monitoring was closer to a scientific dream: the hope of observing forests, cities, oceans, and atmosphere change in real time. That moment simultaneously arrived just as AI became practical enough to help read the flood of images and measurements it produces.

The work now is to make this abundance intelligible. I build AI and remote sensing tools that help researchers read environmental change carefully, from tree crown segmentation to smog forecasting and biodiversity foundation models.
