Speaking

I regularly give lectures, workshops, and conference presentations on GeoAI, remote sensing, spatial data science, and applied AI. My speaking work is grounded in the same principle as my technical work: make advanced methods understandable enough that people can evaluate them, adapt them, and use them responsibly. The goal is for participants to leave with a working understanding of both the technology and the judgment needed to apply it well.

Experience

50+ invited lectures, technical workshops, and conference presentations
Delivered sessions across 10+ Canadian universities, government agencies, and national and international events
Experience speaking to technical teams, students, researchers, executives, government partners, and mixed public audiences

Speaking Topics

GeoAI and the future of intelligent GIS
Geospatial foundation models
Deep learning and computer vision for Earth observation
Generative AI, RAG and AI agents for geospatial workflows
From AI prototype to operational geospatial system
Teaching GIS in the age of AI
