Jakub Nowosad

University of Cincinnati

Currently, my research is focused on design and implementation of methods for segmentation and clustering of environmental spatial patterns. During my PhD I had worked on predicting pollen concentration of Corylus, Alnus, and Betula using machine learning and GIS. My research interests also include spatial analysis, statistics, and programming.
