Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture
Brendan is a spatial scientist and computational designer. His work explores the entanglement of ecology and technology. Brendan’s current research programs include the design of robotic processes for planting and sensing landscapes, experiments in the use of point cloud modeling as a new creative medium, and documentary projects that use emerging technologies to preserve a record of our disappearing natural and cultural heritage. His past research programs included building resilience to climate change, erosion and landscape evolution modeling, the geochemistry of tropical rivers, drone data analytics for computational ecology, and development of a tangible interface for geospatial modeling. He is committed to open science and open education as global foundations for equitable access to knowledge. Brendan hosts a collection of 3D scanned heritage landscapes at https://xyz.cct.lsu.edu.
