Ph.D in Biology, Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior - University of Konstanz (Germany), 2020
BS in Electrical Engineering, Princeton University, 2016
My work focuses on creating systems that allow for the efficient and automated study of ecological systems. Specifically, I focus on combining imaging and computer vision to study the relationship between individuals and their social and physical landscapes.
Currently, I am an assistant professor and the University of Wyoming in the School of Computing and the Department of Zoology and Physiology. Previously I was a Washington Research Foundation Postdoctoral Scholar in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences at the University of Washington working with Professor Andrew Berdahl.
For my Ph.D. I worked with Iain Couzin at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in the Department of Collective Behavior in Konstanz Germany. I finished my bachelors in 2016 with a degree in electrical engineering from Princeton University where I focused on image processing and machine learning. Currently I am using drones and computer vision to study pacific salmon migration and behavior in Alaska.
