ABOUT CHAD B.
I\'m a Ph.D-trained space physicist with 15+ years of experience applying science and data to solve complex, real-world problems across space technology, remote sensing, and environmental monitoring. My career bridges deep academic research with cutting-edge industry work—from analyzing magnetospheric dynamics and atmospheric emissions to leading machine learning initiatives for hyperspectral satellite imagery and precision agriculture.As Principal Scientist at Wyvern Inc, I lead calibration and validation of our hyperspectral satellite constellation and develop applied solutions across sectors like agriculture, mining, and peace and security. My background in space physics gives me a strong foundation in data modeling, signal processing, and Earth observation, and I\'ve consistently leveraged that to translate theory into operational impact.Prior to Wyvern, I led data science teams at AltaML and Farmers Edge, delivering ML solutions in geospatial analytics, crop prediction, and environmental sensing. I\'ve also worked on instrumentation, large-scale data systems, and multi-sensor integration—particularly through roles at the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Calgary, contributing to major research efforts.I love contributing my expertise in applied space science, physics, and data science to drive innovation—whether in satellite systems, Earth observation, or climate and environmental technologies. If you\'re working at the intersection of science and application, let’s connect.
