Research Assistant — Hyperspectral Signal Modeling

Jan 2026 – Present | AUM

Advisor: Dr. Olcay Kursun

  • •Designed and trained an end-to-end Gaussian channel-selection model with a compact MLP predictor head to identify spectrally meaningful bands from 462-channel hyperspectral imagery (389–1004 nm)
  • •Determined that 6 learned spectral channels retain near-complete predictive power for photon flux ratio (R² = 0.979 ± 0.015 across 10 random seeds), with channel center wavelengths converging consistently regardless of initialization
  • •Ran a follow-up radiance transfer experiment freezing the 6-channel configuration and retraining only the MLP head, achieving R² = 0.999 ± 0.0006 — demonstrating a single fixed-filter camera design supports multiple measurement objectives
  • •Designed all experiments, implemented all training pipelines, ran all analysis, and is co-authoring the manuscript
  • •Manuscript targeting Atmospheric Measurement Techniques (AMT), a peer-reviewed journal · Target submission: July 2026
