Data Science for Conservation

And other adventures in applied physics

Project Examples

Current & Recent Projects

  • Dynamic model validation for the Roxburgh hydro power station
  • Dynamic system modelling for the Wairakei geothermal power station
  • Vehicle detection & classification from satellite imagery for GFA group
  • Invasive predator detection & classification from camera trap imagery
  • River connectivity visualisation for forestry monitoring with PyQGIS
  • Machine vision for mussel farming applications
  • Object detection & tracking (fish underwater)
  • Automation of stream channel predictions on forestry blocks using PyQGIS from drone data
  • Dynamic system modelling for an upgrade to the TOPP1 geothermal power station, Kawerau
  • Dynamic system modelling for the Uterne Solar Farm, Nothern Territory
  • Slope classification for erosion control using LiDAR data

The focus for now is on mathematical modelling for conservation & engineering applications.

I'm not looking for any new remote work at the moment. But I'm generally keen to travel or relocate within NZ or overseas for on-site projects or roles.
