🎓Graduate Research Assistant
About Me
I am a third-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Vermont, advised by Prof. Safwan W. Shah. My research centers on Geospatial AI, Remote Sensing, and Time-Series Forecasting for environmental monitoring, with a particular focus on water quality assessment.
Currently, we are developing a pixel-level forecasting system for Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms in Lake Champlain. This work aims to develop a remote-sensing-only framework that is scalable for lakes worldwide, leveraging publicly available satellite data.
I am always eager to explore new opportunities for collaboration. If my research aligns with your interests or if you would like to discuss potential partnerships, please feel free to reach out.
