Designed and developed pipelines for data science algorithms and EO data product generation. Built MLOps platforms and tools for rapid training, evaluation and deployment of deep learning models operating on earth observation data at continental scale.

Built tools for automating environmental monitoring with machine learning and earth observation data.

Used remotely sensed imagery from the Earth on AWS platform to build predictive deep learning models to classify crop types in challenging geographies.

The Biogeography Lab uses quantitative methods to study crop ecology, agricultural biodiversity, and agricultural development and their effects on the health, and wealth of people.Leverage data science methods, including the application of various machine learning algorithms, to model spatial-temporal patterns in cropping systems and agricultural landscapes.

Managed the intellectual property development process for several clients primarily in the clean tech/renewables industries. Drafted, filed, and prosecuted US and international patent applications; Performed IP diligence including freedom-to-operate, infringement and validity analyses; Supported business development transactions through diligence and licensing agreement work.

The Horticulture Innovation Lab is a USAID-funded program focused on the development of international projects and partnerships that improve livelihoods for resource-poor fruit and vegetable producers. The program, led by researchers and staff at UC Davis, was established as part of the U.S. Government's Feed the Future Initiative. Designed and conducted experiment to compare effects of two low-cost, passive drying technologies on nutrient degradation in fruit. Performed model selection and conducted statistical analyses to determine significance of treatment effects and differences in treatment group means (using the ‘lsmeans’ package in R). Prepared manuscript on findings; submitted August 2017: "Effect of Passive Drying on Ascorbic Acid, Alpha-Tocopherol, and Beta-Carotene in Tomato and Mango"

Managed Inventure's intellectual property portfolio including multiple US, foreign, and international patents and patent applications.Drafted, filed, and prosecuted US and international patent applications.Oversaw IP diligence efforts including freedom-to-operate analyses; Supported business development transactions through diligence and agreement work.Supported business development efforts through project development and market research and analytics in a number of areas including agricultural supply chains, fuel and chemical markets, and emerging biofuel technologies (feedstocks and conversion pathways).

Acquired, developed, and managed data content for Elsevier Biofuel TechSelect; edited content against quality standards.Liaised with Development Partners throughout the global biofuel supply chain to ensure the completeness and validity of supplied data.Provided expert review and worked with Development Partners to identify and remedy issues with data that was determined to be insufficient, inaccurate, or unsubstantiated.Collaborated with the Carbon War Room and other partners on the product development and user testing of the database.Monitored status and progress of content acquisition through weekly and monthly reports against Key Performance Indicators (KPI's).
