Biography

As part of the Digital Innovation Team I will be looking at operationalising existing BAS innovations in the digital space. This basically means taking things we have already done (are doing) and enabling wider use through ‘FAIR’ (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Re-useable) principles. I am part of the team currently taking the BAS-AILab PolarRoute project and making it operational onboard the SDA.

I’m also currently working in the field of ‘Automated shape analysis and tracking within imagery’ using computer vision and machine learning techniques. Initially showcasing the measurement of objects from satellite imagery.
