Overview

Research

My current research interests lie in the machine learning methods for remote sensing data acquisition and processing. These scientific investigations have real-world applications in areas such as natural disaster relief and marine observation. Examples include the detection of algal blooms, tracking of marine carbon flux, and detection of marine oil spills, among others. My work greatly benefits from collaborative research with leading research institutes, including the Plymouth Marine Laboratory, the Met Office, and the National Oceanographic Centre.
