Peter's Research

Peter's research is to integrate population health and geospatial data layers with artificial intelligence (AI)-generated information from remote sensing for advanced predictive and prescriptive analytics of population phenomena such as the COVID-19 outbreak. Use cutting edge and best practice analytical techniques, we will extract information from multi-dimensional heterogeneous complex data collections such as environmental time series; multiscale-images; epidemiological and spaceborne sensor data. Extracted information can include multiscale convolutional features from high-resolution images; time dependent characterizations; and complex multi-model behavior. Such features are critical to the etiology of any phenomena. I thrive on new approaches to complex problems involving complex data.
