About Me

Hi there! I’m Connor Greenwell, an applied computer vision and multimodal AI researcher focused on building systems that help us understand the physical world at scale. I lead federally funded research spanning remote sensing, geospatial foundation models, explainable AI, and human–environment modeling, with applications ranging from satellite-based change detection and 3D scene understanding to transportation and urban planning.

Currently, I work as a Staff Research Scientist on Kitware’s Computer Vision Team. I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Kentucky, where I worked in the Multi-modal Vision Research Lab under the guidance of Dr. Nathan Jacobs. I also earned my BS in Computer Science and Mathematics at Kentucky. My experience includes internships at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Kitware, where I contributed to projects in remote sensing and geospatial analysis.

I reside in Richmond, VA, with my wife Abbie, our dog Hopper, and our cat Jellybean.
