Dr. Shay Strong received her Ph.D in Astrophysics from the University of Texas at Austin, focusing on Gas Giant planet atmospheric modeling. Prior to EagleView, she worked at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab as a Senior Scientist for both National Security & NASA spacecraft development and design. She left Johns Hopkins to be a part of a small D.C.-based startup called OmniEarth, focused on geospatial machine learning. There she developed a system to evaluate residential water usage, at scale in the cloud, for the desert U.S. Southwest with neural networks & deep learning. She joined EagleView as part of the successful EagleView acquisition of OmniEarth in May 2017, where she leads the machine learning/data science team to make geospatial imagery queryable through deep learning. Since 2018, she has worked with the University Of Washington as part of the GeoHackWeek program to create new ML-based hands on tutorials.
