Personal profile
Research Interests
My research addresses the intersection of advanced remote sensing (terrestrial laser scanning, airborne & drone photogrammetry/LiDAR), fire and fuel-treatment science, vegetation structure and habitat modelling, and passive restoration processes in forest and riparian ecosystems. I work to develop rigorous metrics, workflows, and empirical evaluations that bridge sensor data to ecological and management outcomes — whether in wildfire treatment effectiveness, habitat‐structure quantification, or ecosystem recovery. My work contributes to both applied management questions and fundamental understanding of structural complexity, ecological resilience, and forest/habitat change.
