Dr. Kendra Walker is a remote sensing specialist and postdoctoral scholar at the Environmental Markets Lab at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her work analyzing time-series of moderate to high-resolution satellite imagery using high-performance computing and machine learning informs various projects focused on identifying causal relationships between policy, human behavior, and environmental outcomes.  Prior to her work at U.C. Santa Barbara, Kendra lived extensively in Gabon and Panama and conducted research on complex issues at the intersection of humans and nature, including farmer-elephant conflict and multi-decadal land tenure and deforestation patterns. Kendra holds a PhD in Natural Resource Management from the University of Michigan.

Grady Killeen is a third year PhD candidate in the economics department at the University of California, Berkeley. Prior to beginning his PhD, Grady worked as a research associate for Harvard Business School and Precision Development (PxD). While at PxD, he played a leading role in their research into the use of remote sensing tools for program evaluation and the integration of technology stacks into research flows. Grady is currently working on projects relating to technology adoption by micro-enterprises, road safety, and general equilibrium spillovers, in addition to ongoing work examining the use of satellite data to estimate economic parameters.
