Research:
Related to planetary science, one of my main interests is to use visual analytics to study images and videos taken from planetary explorations. Specifically, use deep learning methods to identify patterns that human eyes may not be able to identify, and/or build scalable models to automatically screen large amounts of visual data for interesting evidence. I am also interested in studying how public (and policy makers) reacts to scientific proposals (e.g., building a new radio telescope) and findings (e.g., Venus may have supported life in the past) related to planetary sciences, and use these findings to guide effective communication strategies by the planetary science community to the general public, enhancing their interests and engagement.
