Curriculum Vitae

I am a global change geographer who studies how climate and land-use change reshape terrestrial ecosystems, affect biodiversity, and alter interactions between people and wildlife. I integrate remote sensing, GIScience, statistics, and geospatial AI (GeoAI) to map land cover and land use, model species distributions, quantify landscape structure and change, and assess global change impacts. A major goal of my work is to develop scalable, explainable decision-support tools and actionable knowledge that inform conservation and policy decisions and help balance biodiversity and human livelihoods.
