Summary
Olee Lam is an interdisciplinary researcher and PhD candidate at UW–Madison with eight years of experience applying computational remote sensing, radar signal processing, and ecological data science to real-world problems. Currently a Graduate Research Assistant, Olee has a strong track record in open-source tool development—publishing the rtry R package on CRAN while at the Max Planck Institute—to streamline plant trait data preprocessing for the biogeography community. His background spans radar hardware and signal analysis (including micro-Doppler work and FMCW radar vibration compensation) through to large-scale remote sensing and forestry applications, bridging engineering and ecological domains. Comfortable with FPGA, Python and R workflows, he combines hands-on instrumentation experience from industry internships with rigorous academic research. Based in Madison, Wisconsin, he brings a pragmatic, reproducible approach to interdisciplinary problems and a habit of shipping research software that others can immediately use.
