Emilio Luz-Ricca

I am currently studying for a Master of Research (MRes) in Environmental Data Science in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Cambridge. I will be joining the Department of Zoology at Cambridge for my PhD in Fall 2024 as a member of the Conservation Science Group under the supervision of Andrew Balmford. I am part of the AI for Environmental Risks Centre for Doctoral Training, a researcher at the Cambridge Centre for Carbon Credits, and a member of Churchill College. My research focuses on the uses of predictive modeling for biodiversity conservation, with an emphasis on machine learning, remote sensing, and optimization.

Previously, I received a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Data Science with a minor in Math from William & Mary.
