Research

My research goals are to address and solve cutting-edge environmental problems by properly utilizing geographic information system modeling technologies and remote sensing of the environment. My current research interests include 1) algorithm development using GIS and remote sensing technologies to model environmental processes, 2) advanced remote sensing data fusion, and 3) development of web-based monitoring systems.
