I am a Lecturer in Environmental Data Science at School of Geographical Sciences, University of Bristol. I am also a Fellow in UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. My research expertise involves Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning, and the application of these techniques in geospatial data science and remote sensing. I am extremely passionate about cross-disciplinary integration of AI and Data Science to better understand environmental and socio-ecological systems, driven by the ambition to tackle some of the greatest challenges in our society. My research breaks traditional boundaries between human and physical geography, fosters new connections across disciplines by expanding the knowledge and insight about the data-rich world that we inhabit.

Four of the most significant themes of my research are:

1. Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
2. Geospatial Data Mining and Modelling
3. Landscape Pattern and Process Modelling
4. Remotely Sensed Image Analysis and their Applications

At University of Bristol, I am the Programme Director of MSc Environmental Modelling and Data Analysis, as part of an Interdisciplinary Hub for Data Science.
