About Andrea Albright

Remote sensing scientist with expertise in lidar and UAS image processing, specifically generating topo-bathy surface models. I am passionate about data visualization and AI/machine learning, and interested in communicating complex ideas using intuitive visualizations. My research interests are varied, but are focused primarily on remote sensing, earth observation, and geospatial analysis -- previous research has focused on quantifying oxygen concentrations on the seafloor, characterizing breaking waves using lidar, creating nearshore bathymetric maps from a fusion of satellite platforms, developing open source image processing tools, analyzing trail camera data using CameraTrapDetectoR software, and most recently creating topobathy surface models of farm irrigation ponds. Remote sensing, geospatial analysis, bathymetry, geography, geoscience, earth science and observation, image processing, data science, machine learning, geostatistics, spatial interpolation, photogrammetry, multispectral and hyperspectral image analysis, high performance computing (HPC) environments, SLURM scripts, Open Drone Map, Microstation/Terrasolid, CloudCompare, ArcGIS Pro, ENVI, QGIS, VDatum, landscape ecology, regenerative agriculture, GIS, GPS, 3D spatial analysis, lidar (calibration, ground model editing, feature extraction, utilities modeling, error analysis, digital elevation models), and UAS-, aerial-, satellite-image analysis. Skilled scientific programmer experienced with Unix (Bash), Git, Python, Julia, R, and MATLAB. I especially enjoy programming using Julia. Interested in complex problems, and always looking to connect with other scientists and engineers. Connect with me here or email me at andrea.albright@gmail.com.

  • Bike & Build
    Route Leader - Central Us 2011
    Bike & Build Dec 2010 - Aug 2011
    I rode my bicycle from Virginia Beach, VA to Cannon Beach, OR. I personally fundraised over $4000 and as part of a group of 33 riders over $100,000 – part of our mission to raise money and awareness for affordable housing. We volunteered with Habitat for Humanity and Rebuilding Together in eight different states along the way. I co-led the trip with the help of three other extraordinary leaders, and we were responsible for coordinating meals, overnight stays, volunteer experiences with affordable housing organizations. Everyone arrived safely and we all had the time of our lives.
  • Roosevelt University
    Organic Chemistry Teaching Assistant
    Roosevelt University Jan 2011 - May 2011
    Chicago, Il
    I attended classes and conducted homework sessions for students studying organic chemistry.
  • Tall Ship Windy
    Deckhand
    Tall Ship Windy May 2010 - Oct 2010
    Chicago, Il
    I lived and worked as part of a crew aboard a gaff-rigged sailing ship. I learned to effectively multi-task under high-stress situations. I interacted with passengers from all over the world, taught small groups how to raise sails, and created an enthusiastic atmosphere. On very special occasions I jumped off the shrouds into Lake Michigan. I learned how to live in the same place that I work – and how it important it is to love your profession.
  • Ministère De L'Education Nationale – Académie De Poitiers
    English Language Teaching Assistant
    Ministère De L'Education Nationale – Académie De Poitiers Oct 2009 - Apr 2010
    Rochefort, France
    I lived on my own in a foreign country. During the week, I created English lessons for French students in middle and high school. I worked with many different teachers, and realized the difference that a good teacher can make in a student's life. On weekends I learned how to cook real food, how to wander without getting lost, and how to make friends when you don't know the words.
