Background
- Research interests include addressing robustness and uncertainty issues in high-dimensional LiDAR sensing data. During his doctoral studies, he focused on calibration and accuracy studies of LiDAR data and developed methods to extract building features in earthquake zones to estimate near-field movements during earthquakes.
Miscellany
- Personal interests and hobbies are not mentioned.
