I'm a scientific programmer focused on remote sensing research. I use images from satellites, planes, and drones to classify and map land cover over New Zealand, as well as sea ice in Antarctica.
I am constantly learning more about land cover and land use in New Zealand and keeping up to date with new research and analysis techniques. It’s great to be making a difference by contributing towards high value research that feeds directly into policy decisions.
I have a solid base in computers/electronics, programming, and physics, which provides a good platform for contributing to many different areas of research. I wanted to do research that contributed towards our understanding of the environment, and this was a good fit.
