RESEARCH INTERESTS
I did my PhD at Wageningen University and Research (Netherlands) which focused on predictive modelling in digital soil mapping (DSM). I aimed to enhance machine learning methodologies within DSM to address key problems with soil data: (1) accounting for measurement errors with machine learning; (2) performing multivariate mapping with machine learning; (3) accounting for right-censored soil data with machine learning; (4) using data visualisation tools to better understand machine learning predictions in DSM.
After my PhD I continued to work on problems in DSM.
