I'm Dryver Finch, a geographer specializing in remote sensing, UAV-based imaging, and geospatial analysis for land and resource monitoring, conservation, and ecological restoration. My research integrates satellite and UAV-based multispectral/hyperspectral imaging with machine learning techniques to support sustainable management of natural resources and hydrological systems.

I'm currently pursuing an M.S. in Geography at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where I also work as a GIS Lab Assistant and Graduate Teaching Assistant. I have previous experience as a research intern at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and have worked on projects involving AI-driven object detection, UAV-based LiDAR/multispectral, and ML in remote sensing.
