About Xiaoxuan Shawn Li
I earned my PhD degree from George Mason University majoring in Earth Systems and Geoinformation Sciences, where I conduct multidisciplinary research on calibration and validation of spaceborne LiDAR datasets (GEDI and ICESat-2) and the fusion of coincident optical, hyperspectral, airborne LiDAR, GEDI, and SAR to produce aboveground biomass maps. I collaborate with colleagues from NASA\'s Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) and the University of Maryland on interdisciplinary projects that use remote sensing data and methods to study vegetation structure and biomass. I have extensive experience and skills in geospatial analysis software, programming languages, remote sensing data processing and analytics, predictive analytics, machine learning, and web-based GIS technologies. I have applied these skills to various topics, such as vegetation change monitoring, multi-source data fusion, natural hazards mapping and risk assessment, and forest biomass estimation. I am passionate about using remote sensing and data science to address environmental challenges, and I am always eager to learn new remote sensing & data science techniques and tools.
