REMOTE SENSING & AERIAL MAPPING
UAV, LiDAR & Photogrammetric Mapping
As an FAA Part 107 remote pilot, I plan and execute aerial mapping missions and process imagery and point clouds into orthomosaics, terrain models, surface models, and other high-resolution geospatial products. My workflow includes GNSS, PPK, LiDAR classification, photogrammetric reconstruction, terrain modeling, and accuracy review.
Featured case study:
UAV LiDAR Mapping in Complex Shoreline Terrain
PLANETARY REMOTE SENSING
Mapping the Shallow Subsurface of Mars
As an undergraduate research assistant supporting a NASA InSight participating scientist, I used Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter imagery and GIS to interpret exposed stratigraphy near western Elysium Planitia and help characterize potential subsurface conditions within the InSight landing region.
Featured case study:
NASA InSight Mission Affiliated Research
MOBILE MAPPING
Mobile Roadway LiDAR
I collected and validated mobile LiDAR and roadway imagery across the United States, troubleshooting collection systems and assessing data quality in the field. That experience built the practical foundation for my current work with large point-cloud, imagery, GNSS, and field-mapping datasets.
Featured case study:
Mobile Roadway LiDAR Collection Across the United States
NATURAL HAZARDS & GEOMORPHOLOGY
Post-Wildfire Debris-Flow Hazard & Risk
I develop spatial analyses that connect modeled debris-flow hazard and depth with roads, bridges, buildings, and other exposed infrastructure. The work translates complex terrain and hazard data into defensible findings that support mitigation, emergency planning, and recovery decisions.
Terrain & Geomorphic Analysis
My graduate research examined how channel geometry influences debris-flow avulsion. Today I apply terrain modeling, geomorphic interpretation, and remote sensing to understand hillslope and channel behavior in landscapes affected by wildfire and mass movement.
Featured case study:
When Debris Flows Leave Their Channels
GIS & SPATIAL AUTOMATION
GIS Automation & Decision Tools
I build Python and ArcGIS tools that turn repeatable spatial workflows into reliable, auditable processes. One custom risk-analysis toolbox reduced work that previously took days or weeks to a matter of minutes while preserving the intermediate outputs needed for quality control and review.
Selected Work
Applied geospatial work at the intersection of terrain, natural hazards, remote sensing, GIS, and field science. Client-sensitive details are intentionally omitted.
