About me
I am a planetary and space scientist with a background in astrophysics, passionate about applications of satellite remote sensing and data fusion techniques to solving meaningful problems. My main research applications have been in surface and subsurface water analysis using space based sensors, particularly the detection and characterization of subsurface water and potentially habitable environments on Mars, and the measurement of vegetation water use on Earth, using multispectral data. I have worked/am working in academia in Australia and Canada, with the Canadian Space Agency, with industry in areas of viticulture, forestry, and environmental water quality, and with the SmartSat CRC. I am also connected with international planetary research in machine learning and Mars image analysis, and with the CSIRO's Future Science Platform. I am a Review Editor for Frontiers Environmental Informatics and Remote Sensing. I am a former EMCR member on the National Committee for Space and Radio Science and President of the Women in Space Chapter of the National Space Society of Australia.
