I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (田纳西大学). My research interests include Geographic Information Science (GIS), remote sensing, and environmental modeling. More specifically, I am interested in applying geospatial big data, machine learning, and cloud computing (e.g., Google Earth Engine) to study environmental change, especially surface water and wetland inundation dynamics. I am a strong advocate of open science and reproducible research. I have developed and published various open-source packages for advanced geospatial analysis, such as geemap, lidar, whitebox-python, whiteboxR, and WhiteboxTools-ArcGIS. Check out my research and blog for more information about what I am currently working on.
