Leonie Baier is an expert on bats, including the sounds they make and their behaviour. She’s now working with us to build the best open-data collections of bat sounds, and also to use those sounds to build AI species recognition tools for European bats. https://www.surfinbat.org/
Céline Angonin is an audio research engineer with a background in computing and signal processing. In her PhD she is researching how we can use machine learning to make the best use of the many diverse bioacoustic data collections out there. https://bioacousticai.eu/team-member/celine-angonin/
Rita Pucci is a computer vision expert who has studied various aspects of computer vision for nature. Her current mission is to develop new models for animal biodiversity understanding and monitoring, through multimodal AI models grounded on images. https://ritapucci.wordpress.com/
Parto Shahroudi is a researcher in AI and image processing. In her PhD she is focussing on how machine learning can reliably classify very difficult fragmented fossil images, so that palaeontologists can make sense of all the “clues” that people find washed up on the beach!
Inês Nolasco is a researcher in bioacoustics and machine learning. She recently completed her PhD studying how machine learning can identify individual animals from their sounds. She has also co-organised public data challenges in bioacoustics for many years.
