Biography

I have a background in ecological remote sensing from both my masters, which was developed through my work as a research assistant in the Ecosystems lab at Oxford’s School of Geography and the Environment since graduation. Currently pursuing my PhD at Cambridge under the supervision of Professor David Coomes, I’m applying this to investigate the carbon benefits of habitat restoration in the UK. This research aims to leverage remote sensing and deep learning to advance nature recovery efforts while examining the socioeconomic and policy contexts influencing landowners' restoration actions.
