I'm a researcher in Computational Humanities and Cultural Evolution at Amsterdam's [Meertens Institute](https://meertens.knaw.nl/index.php/en/), affiliated with the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. I study aspects of cultural change and experiment with methods to quantify cultural diversity. A significant aspect of my recent work is understanding and accounting for biases in these quantifications. I like to use computational models from fields such as Machine Learning, Cultural Evolution, and Ecology to aid these investigations. Beyond research, I have a passion for teaching computer programming, especially within the Humanities context. Together with [Mike Kestemont](http://mikekestemont.github.io/) and [Allen Riddell](https://www.ariddell.or...

Hey guys! I recently wrote a review paper regarding the use of Machine Learning in Remote Sensing. I thought that some of you might find it interesting and insightful. It is not strictly a Python focused research paper but is interesting nonetheless. Introduction to Machine Learning and its Usage in Remote Sensing 1. Introduction Machines have allowed us to do complex computations in short amounts of time. This has given rise to an entirely different area of research which was not being explored: teachin...
