Areas of interest and expertise include data, marine imaging, informatics, real time systems, sensor networks, coral reefs, climate change.
Marine Imaging Specialist overseeing the development of marine imaging solutions for autonomous and semi-autonomous marine observing platforms and systems.
Facility Leader of the Facility for Automated Intelligent Monitoring of Marine Systems (FAIMMS). Activities include design and deployment of reef-based sensor networks, design of data systems and software to support real-time environmental data, development of the next generation of sensor and data systems to support future environmental and biological monitoring and development of tools for users to use and integrate sensor data.
