Summer Environmental StudyGauri Kambhatla
2018 The Clara Carter Higgins Summer Environmental Studies Scholarship
Gauri Kambhatla is a sophomore studying computer science and cognitive science at the University of Michigan. She is passionate about interweaving artificial intelligence with sustainability to create solutions to the major issues of climate change: how AI and machine learning can be used to combat or prevent damage to ecosystems worldwide. She will be studying in Denmark and modeling glaciers to learn about their formation, preservation, and destruction; their part in our global climate system; and the effects of climate change on them. She will be doing fieldwork in the glaciers of Iceland, creating models for glacier behavior and learning on-site.
