Description of research and teaching
Current areas of research interest:
- Remote sensing:
- Chlorophyll fluorescence, from leaf to landscape
- Field and automated canopy spectroscopy
- Physiological optics (e.g. Photochemical Reflectance Index)
- Physically-based modelling techniques
- Ecophysiology:
- Photosynthesis
- BVOCs
- Modern software and hardware in Environmental Science:
- Data science and associated languages (Python numerical stack and R)
- Affordable instrumentation development (e.g. RPI)
- Promoting up-to-date software practice (e.g. version control)
I am instructing on "Environmental Data Science" which covers some of the practical aspects of working with data in R and Python. We use Jupyter notebooks for course content which you can find on our lab's github:
