I am an Assistant Professor and Canada CIFAR AI Chair in the School of Computer Science at McGill University and at Mila – Quebec AI Institute. My group’s work focuses on innovations in machine learning driven by problems in climate change – encompassing areas such as biodiversity monitoring, land use classification, climate model emulation, and materials discovery. I also serve as Co-founder and Chair of Climate Change AI, Scientific Co-director of Sustainability in the Digital Age, and co-lead of the NSF-NSERC Global Center on AI and Biodiversity Change (ABC). I am a Sloan Research Fellow and AI2050 Fellow and was named to the MIT Technology Review “35 Innovators Under 35” list for work in building the field of machine learning and climate change. Previously, I was an NSF Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellow at UPenn and an NSF Graduate Research Fellow at MIT.
