David's project

Background

David obtained his Bachelor of Science in Imaging Science from the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2019. He briefly conducted undergraduate research in remote sensing before taking a position with a different professor to conduct multi- and hyperspectral image processing in cultural heritage as a part of the Rochester Cultural Heritage Imaging, Visualization, and Education (R-CHIVE) group.

Outside of RIT, David also spent a summer as part of the Higher Education Research Experiences (HERE) program at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in the summer of 2018. At ORNL, he worked with the Geographic Information Science & Technology group to better understand the effects that image capture parameters could have in photogrammetry.

Aspirations within projects

David believes that his work as ESR9 is a logical extension of not only his imaging science background, but also the interest he has held in understanding imaging techniques better by taking a deeper dive into the image acquisition process. He also hopes to better connect with the European cultural heritage community.
