Machine learning x sustainability
Before Beacons, I did my PhD in the AI Lab at Stanford, working with Prof. Stefano Ermon.
During my PhD, I developed and applied new machine learning techniques to problems in global sustainability. For example, we used high-resolution satellite imagery and deep learning to help map out poverty in Africa. Check out the slides from my PhD defense here.
Fun fact from my PhD: Bill Gates tweeted about one of my projects 🤩
