Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnn Raiho is an Adjunct Research Assistant Professor and senior scientist with 11 years of experience translating messy, high-dimensional ecological and biological data into production-grade decision systems. She has led PhD-level teams and owned technical roadmaps, operationalizing carbon-accounting, MRV, and remote-sensing pipelines at Funga to support nature-based climate solutions across thousands of acres. Her background blends rigorous ecological modeling—from contributions to the PEcAn ecosystem toolbox and tree-ring surrogate models—to hands-on deployment of scalable ML and geospatial workflows in both academia and industry. Ann’s work emphasizes uncertainty quantification and validation, enabling defensible carbon credits and conservation planning informed by high-resolution satellite and microbial data. Based in Philadelphia, she pairs a PhD in Ecology with multi-language scientific computing expertise (Python, R, C++), bringing a rare mix of field-driven insight and production-level engineering.
