Summary
Evan Krell is a postdoctoral researcher and geospatial computer scientist with 11 years of experience applying machine learning, robotics, and bioinformatics to coastal and marine problems. Trained from bachelor’s through PhD at Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi, he has built DNA metabarcoding pipelines, developed energy-efficient path planning for autonomous surface vessels, and created AI models for coastal fog prediction. Now at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, he translates local South Texas coastal case studies into broadly applicable methods that bridge genomics, geospatial data, and explainable AI. Known for pragmatic experimentation, he combines field-minded problem framing with software and systems skills honed across lab programming, cybersecurity research, and robotics projects.
