Neil Smith

Associate Research Scientist / Co-Director of the Center for Cyber-Archaeology and Sustainability

The research interests of Neil Smith, Ph.D., focus on the merging of computational science with a variety of domain-driven research topics including disciplines such as archaeology, cultural heritage, digital humanities, geophysics, marine science, and material science. Current research has focused on novel computer vision solutions that incorporate geographic information systems, scientific visualization, informatics, human computer interaction methods. In particular, recent research has led to the development of non-invasive remote sensing techniques (e.g. SfM, LiDAR) including aerial based scanning techniques and unmanned multi-rotor copters mounted with imaging sensors.
