I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the FAST Lab at Iowa State University, working with Pro. Peter T. Wolter (https://sites.google.com/view/isufastlab). My research focuses on analyzing LiDAR and remote sensing data to assess forest structure and biomass in the Kawishiwi Ranger District. This project contributes to a multiyear sustainability assessment, integrating geospatial analysis and advanced modeling techniques to enhance forest management and conservation efforts.
