I am currently a Ph.D. Candidate in the Faculty of Forestry at the University of British Columbia. My research spans a variety of disciplines including Computer Science, Remote Sensing/Geographical Information Systems, Landscape Planning, Environmental Perception and Forestry. My dissertation is focused on designing tools and methods to measure aesthetics in a forested landscape that has both a high degree of aesthetic beauty and is quite visible to the public’s eye. I was inclined to pursue this work because I believe that it is important to create an environment that is not only ecologically healthy, but also one that we enjoy living in.

I am also engaged, and have been, in many other research projects. Most of my research has been in collaboration with the Collaborative for Advanced Landscape Planning, though I am also engaged with research at the Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability. For details see the links under Projects.

I welcome your ideas and questions about this work, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!
