Working on

What I'm working on

This page is my (not always current) attempt to keep track of all the things I'm working on...

1. TESSERA Foundation Model project
   • Improving Barlow-Twin representation quality (with Frank Feng and Sadiq Jaffer)
   • Estimating the impact of small field size on crop representations (with Madeleine Lisaius, Clement Atzberger (Mantle Labs) and Andrew Blake (Mantle Labs))
   • Using Barlow-Twin representations to study fungal biodiversity (with Robin Young and SPUN)
   • Studying the impact of wildfires on forest carbon stock (with Jovana Knezevic and David Coomes)
2. Environment and conservation
   • Estimating forest structure parameters using UAV-based monocular vision (with Yihang She, David Coomes, and Andrew Blake)
   • Quantifying carbon sequestration in regrowing forests in the Brazilian Atlantic (with Felipe Begliomini and David Coomes)
   • Identifying old growth forests in the Carpathians (with Tom Ratsakatika and Emily Lines)
   • Evaluating the effectiveness of policy mixes in reducing deforestation at the jurisdiction level (with Jakob Poffley and Rachael Garrett)
   • Developing algorithms for trunk diameter estimation in complex environments using game engine-based training (with Frank Feng and Edwin Yang (UW))
3. Extreme weather impact and mitigation
   • Studying the impact of extreme weather on the transmission grid (with Enming Liang and Minghua Chen (both CityU HK))
   • Creating spatially-explicit maps of extreme weather impact on building occupants (with Andrea Domiter)
4. Energy systems
   • Fast sizing of solar and storage for residential energy systems (with Julia Gschwind (ETH))
