<p> I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Boston University's <a href="https://www.bu.edu/earth/">Department of Earth and Environment</a>. I work on the <a href="http://sites.bu.edu/measures/">GLanCE project</a>, which aims to map and estimate 21st century global land cover, land use and land cover change at 30 m resolution. Previously, I was a NASA Earth and Space Science fellow and a graduate student at Boston University where I worked with Dr. Mark Friedl. I was a member of the <a href="http://www.bu.edu/lcsc/">Land Cover and Surface Climate Group</a>.<br> 
<p> I study climate variability and human transformation of the landscape, especially through agriculture. I use high performance computing, machine learning and time series analysis of remote sensing observations to characterize land use and land cover change. <br>
