I am the author and maintainer of the CRAN packages ecosystem for lidar point-cloud data analysis in R. I have developed widely-used packages such as lidR, lasR, and rlas, which are extensively utilized in universities around the world. Additionally, I am responsible for maintaining several other R packages for lidar data processing, including RCSF and RMCC. These packages are designed to empower R users by offering access to peer-reviewed algorithms for effective lidar data analysis.
