Jonathan joined the Department in 2007 having spent 5 years as an associate professor at Ryerson University and one year as an assistant professor at the University of Regina. His research interests are in urban remote sensing and geospatial data science, especially in intelligent extraction of geometric and semantic information for earth observation images and LiDAR point clouds using machine learning and deep learning algorithms. His recent research focuses on use of the inhomogeneous and unstructured point clouds acquired by LiDAR and photogrammetry to generate HD maps and digital terrain models to support the development in smart cities and autonomous vehicles.
