Overview
I am highly motivated by problems related to climate change with emphasis on northern regions.
My research reflects my interests and training in fluid dynamics, remote sensing data and computation I work on recent data-driven approaches, including deep learning, that maintain the fidelity of the physical system.
Examples of current projects include classifying fluid structures with unsupervised approaches, sensor fusion and multimodal learning, deep learning for space/time predictions.
I am open to different application areas and colloaborate with many others in the following groups
The vision and image processing group
The automation and intelligent systems group
Fluid dynamics group in applied math
The remote sensing of environmental change group
I welcome students across all diversity groups and can adjust projects for various levels, from undergraduate to PhD or Postdoc
