Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolTomas Naprstek is a research-focused remote sensing scientist and Research Council Officer with nine years of experience translating airborne sensor data into robust, automated processing and analysis pipelines. Trained in physics and geophysics (PhD), he bridges astrophysics, geophysics and remote sensing to solve practical problems—from aeromagnetic interpolation (creator of the open-source “Multi-trend gridding” method) to LiDAR-based synthetic world generation and hyperspectral anomaly detection using neural networks. He has led development of drone and helicopter systems for civilian and military aeromagnetic surveys and rescued a major airborne wildfire campaign by inventing an accurate geolocation and mosaicing workflow after hardware failure. Equally comfortable in the field—having flown experimental aircraft in arctic conditions and carried heavy sensor loads across deserts—and at the chalkboard, he combines hands-on data collection experience with strong computational and project leadership skills.
