Hi, I’ll post about research in computer vision, machine learning, and remote sensing. I’m interested in open-world recognition, fine-grained categorization, & representation learning with multi-modal data. I work on applications for carbon stock & biodiversity monitoring. 🌍🛰️🌲🐦🌐

If you're interested in learning more about the science behind it, we've just released a preprint describing the methodology and the tool we've built: arxiv.org/abs/2511.15656
How AI is unearthing hidden scientific knowledge
Scientists estimate that 80 percent of life on Earth is still unknown to humanity. But as global temperatures rise, habitats shrink and food and water sources dry up, we're losing these species faster...

Super-stoked to release this project with @nicolang.bsky.social & Team! Check it out at the respective links, and test the demo to super-resolve Sentinel-2 satellite images anywhere on earth 🌍 🔍
What if we could see between the pixels? We’ve been working on a new approach to super-resolve images by combining multiple low-resolution views of the same scene.

Preprint: www.arxiv.org/abs/2512.09115

Inspiring TED talk by Sara Beery @sarameghanbeery.bsky.social 🤩
How do we do more with biodiversity data we've already collected?

I gave a TED Talk on scientific discovery in ecological databases at a joint TED Countdown and Bezos Earth Fund event for #NYClimateWeek this year, and it's now live!
