Dan Morris Email and Phone Number

I’m not exactly a “machine learning person”, but I know how to hang out with them. I’ve led applied machine learning projects in conservation technology, gesture recognition, brain-computer interfaces, and computer music. A wise AI guru once told me that “machine learning is easy, feature selection is hard”. Words to live by; many of my contributions in this space have focused on problem formulation and feature exploration for applying ML to interactive systems.I’m not exactly an “environmental scientist“, but I know how to hang out with them. I am researcher in the AI for Nature and Society program at Google, where I use computer vision to accelerate biodiversity surveys (i.e., to save ecologists time). Sometimes I move lots of remote sensing bits around.I’m not exactly an “electrical engineer” (the “building stuff” kind or the “signal processing” kind), but I know how to hang out with them (both kinds). I’ve led hardware prototyping and signal processing projects in natural input, mobile computing, and computer music. I get sad if I go more than a few weeks without soldering anything.I’m not exactly a “doctor”, but I know how to hang out with them. My undergraduate degree was in neurobiology, and since then I’ve worked closely with clinicians, leading projects in surgical simulation, neural interfaces, patient-friendly medical informatics, and mobile health sensing.Home page:http://dmorris.netCV:http://dmorris.net/cv
