Developing Verra’s Jurisdictional and Nested REDD+ (JNR) Risk Mapping Tool

Develop Verra’s Jurisdictional and Nested REDD+ (JNR) Risk Mapping Tool using GDAL and NumPy with TerraCarbon LLC

Deep Learning

Cropland Maps on Plane-Scope imagery Using DenseNet and U-Net at National Scales in Zambia

Created a Google Earth Engine(GEE) base labeling platform and workflow protocol. Wrote GEE API scripts to develop automation for label and imagery downloader and resample on Google Colab. Using PyTorch and scikit-learn to train and predict.

Segementation classification

Pioneer Study of Mapping Greenhouses in Westport, Massachusetts

This project developed a comprehensive greenhouse map using 2021 Mass GIS Aerial Photo and NAIP Imagery collaborated with the Boston Consulting Group. It employed segmentation classification with Mahalanobis, SVM, and SAM algorithms to create the map, leveraging the mask generated from the Mass GIS 2016 Land Cover dataset.

Web Map

3D web map to visualize buildings and utilities in Rotterdam, Netherlands

This section includes two projects written using the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript. The first project created 3D web scene with 3D building, infrastructure, and underground utility layers in ArcGIS Online and used ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript to design an interactive web map, including bookmarks, mouse hover, and pop-ups information. The second project used 2017 States Education Smart Mapping FeatureSever to create an interactive 2D web map with user-selected fields and classification methods.

Database Management

FEMA Emergency Management Data Migration In PostgreSQL

This project mined a series of FEMA Emergency Management and Disaster Datasets and designed database schema in pgAdmin. It provides crucial information needed by federal and state emergency responders and the public to evaluate resource and federal grant allocation of emergency response.

Assessing Disability Accessible Pedestrian Infrastructure in Manhattan

Explored the accessibility of pedestrian infrastructure for wheelchair users around ADA-compliant subway stations in New York City by using spatial analysis tools.

web mapping

Mapping Conflict and Social Media in the Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Visualized the relationship between the Ukraine conflict and social media activity using the Mapbox GL JS JavaScript library to design an interactive web map.
