Sherrie Wang

Sherrie Wang is a Doherty Assistant Professor in Ocean Utilization in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Institute for Data, Systems, and Society. Her research uses novel data and computational algorithms to monitor our planet and enable sustainable development. To this end, her work frequently uses satellite imagery and other spatial data. Due to the scarcity of ground truth labels in many regions and the noisiness of real-world data in general, her methodological work is geared toward developing machine learning methods that work well with these constraints. Prior to MIT, Wang was a Ciriacy-Wantrup Postdoctoral Fellow at UC Berkeley, and she obtained her PhD in Computational and Mathematical Engineering from Stanford University.
