Assistant Professor of Geography

PhD, Oklahoma State University

"My research focuses on using satellite, airborne, unoccupied aerial system (UAS; also called drone), and proximal-based remote sensing for monitoring and estimating crops’ phenotypic traits and detecting biodiversity-biological invasion relationship in grasslands. In my work, I use principles of imaging spectroscopy, GIS, machine learning algorithms, structure-from-motion, and plant physiology. After completing my PhD at Oklahoma State University, I worked as a geospatial analyst at the Texas A&M Forest Service. I joined Bridgewater State University in the fall of 2024, and I teach courses in geospatial science, water resources, and physical geography. I am passionate about hearing from and working with undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in geospatial data, programming, and conducting field experiments."
