Past Visiting Students
Kyran McKnight-Wood
Kyran McKnight-Woods is a Research Assistant at the School of Environment and Sustainability's GIG-Cities Lab. Kyran is currently working towards a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering. His research is focused on the sustainable development of Saskatoon, particularly optimizing the placement of new electric vehicle charging stations using machine learning. His research interests include using machine learning, computer vision, and computational power to promote sustainable development.
Ryan Ocampo
Ryan Ocampo is a third-year Computer Science student with a strong interest in artificial intelligence, in the areas of machine learning and computer vision. He is currently engaged in a collaborative research project with the University of Regina, where he is developing an interactive visualization tool for a machine learning model that integrates solar and wind energy potential. This tool is designed to help users assess renewable energy opportunities in specific geographic regions by providing intuitive, data-driven insights into local solar and wind resources.
Anaelle Chilton
Anaelle Chilton is a third-year Geography and Planning student at the University of Saskatchewan. She is also pursuing the Urban Design Certificate and the Certificate in Sustainability and has special interests in urban design, sustainable cities, environmental management, and planning. She is currently working on a PRISMA-Sc scoping review project on nature prescriptions, addressing current research gaps in the field, opportunities for further investigation, and application of digital and GIS tools.
