Hi, I'm Ted Langhorst.

About Me

I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Massachusetts Amherst using deep learning to better estimate sediment flux in rivers. I grew up in Columbus, Ohio, just a few miles from Ohio State's campus, where I got my B.S. in Geophysics. As an undergraduate, I started research by building a hydrodynamic model of the Olentangy River, a small, urban stream that flows through the city. A few years later, I started a Master's and PhD at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill working on large rivers all over the world using field methods and decades of satellite images to measure long-term river bank migration and suspended sediment fluxes.
