Andrews’s undergraduate experience has given him various technical capabilities involving GIS and remote sensing, conventional forest management practices, wildfire modeling, and landscape-scale ecology. His research interests range from structural modeling of forests with terrestrial LiDAR systems to climate risk forecasting to predictive wildfire fuel modeling. He has experience working alongside government agencies like NASA and the Judicial Council of California to bring authoritative data down to local stakeholders. While working with NASA, he has presented at conferences, earned an open science award, and even won a national technology challenge to address the issues of wildfires.
