Professional photographer and machine learning researcher. Experience with electronics, robotics and many topics in artificial intelligence.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Interested in aerial photography for environmental projects, such as tracking glacier melting, polar ice, photographing crop circles, and rain forests. Currently building trex 600 and aeroquad helicopters for carrying still and video cameras. Especially interested in autonomous control since i've found manual control to be too difficult for many projects.
