Bio

Mason is an incoming second-year undergraduate student majoring in Computer Engineering at UCSB. At emLab, he is working on building a reproducible geospatial data pipeline to overlay satellite-derived tree cover maps with cropland, climate, and soil datasets across sub-Saharan Africa to compare against existing ecohydrological model predictions. Prior to Bren, he worked at Stanford on a project using machine learning to predict the size and occurrence of solar flares. In his free time, he enjoys traveling, working out, and reading.
