Dr. Robin Morris
Research Scientist
Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science
Working in collaboration with researchers at the University of California Santa Cruz, the University of Arizona and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Dr. Morris conducts computer science research in two related areas: data analysis and earth remote sensing. This work is focused on developing Bayesian inference algorithms to quantify uncertainty when inferring results from raw instrument data, such as determining the accuracy of the ‘leaf area index’, estimating global forest properties based on reflected light intensity data captured by NASA earth observing satellites.
