He is passionate about using quantitative tools, particularly remote sensing, to address environmental and social injustices. He works in the MIT Media Lab\u2019s Space Enabled Group, where he studies environmental hazards in US prisons using satellite imagery. Andrew has spent the last two years in the Yale School of the Environment\u2019s Seto Lab, working to better understand the economic and environmental impacts of urbanization using deep learning models. Andrew is also interested in the societal implications of machine learning and related technologies. He has promoted equitable technology policy as a research intern with the Surveillance Technology Oversight Program (STOP) and as a student fellow with the Yale Law School\u2019s Information Society Project. He hopes to pursue a career in the Tech4Good sphere, using his skills to tackle society\u2019s most pressing concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3065,"template":"","profile_category":[21],"class_list":["post-2584","profiles","type-profiles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","profile_category-2023-interns"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles\/2584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profiles"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles\/2584\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3067,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profiles\/2584\/revisions\/3067"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"profile_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oge.mit.edu\/msrp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile_category?post=2584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
