Perspective students

I welcome inquiries from prospective students.

Graduate students: The Department of Geography at Rutgers University is accepting applications for PhD students. If you would like to work with me, please email me before the application deadline with:

• CV
• One-page research statement (your background, key experiences, and a research plan for your future PhD study)
• One code sample (GitHub link preferred)
• One optional writing sample (if you have any)

Given the volume of inquiries, I may only respond to emails that include all requested materials.

What I look for:

• Curiosity about people–nature–climate interactions
• Experience in Python or R, plus GIS/remote sensing
• Evidence you can finish projects and write clearly
• Openness to collaboration and reproducible research

Research directions:

• Geospatial data science
• Remote sensing
• AI for ecology and conservation
• Global change biology
• Ecological modeling
• Land cover mapping
• Land use management
