Stanford Sustainability and Artificial Intelligence Lab

I worked under Stefano Ermon in his Stanford Sustainability and Artificial Intelligence Lab, developing systems which estimate regional poverty using satellite images (a useful method for tracking development goals in areas where census data may be difficult to obtain).

This work was an expansion of papers authored by Xie et al. and Jean et al. It resulted in an original project involving using convolutional neural networks to identify cloud cover in these satellite images, which is described in further detail under Publications
