Senior🎓
Top SchoolMinghui Zhang is a Senior Data Scientist with nine years of experience turning satellite imagery and large time-series datasets into actionable insights on climate-agriculture interactions. With a PhD from UC Berkeley, he developed the first scalable, field-scale method to estimate crop planting dates across Brazil using cloud-native MODIS analysis and now applies regression models to quantify planting responses to wet-season onset. He blends strong statistical rigor and production-grade tooling—R, Python, Google Earth Engine and GIS programming—with hands-on backend development experience contributing text-extraction features to an open-source OFD document library. Based in the Washington DC–Baltimore area, Minghui has a track record across academia and industry (Plenty, Apella) of moving research into operational impact. Colleagues praise his ability to simplify noisy remote-sensing signals into interpretable metrics that inform agricultural decision-making.
