The characterization of particle and plankton populations, as well as microscale biophysical
interactions, is critical to several important research areas in oceanography and limnology. A …

In situ digital inline holography is a technique which can be used to acquire high‐resolution
imagery of plankton and examine their spatial and temporal distributions within the water …

Planktonic mixotrophs, including ciliates, are abundant, yet understudied, mediators of
primary and secondary production in aquatic food webs. Here, we report high-resolution in …

Karenia brevis blooms, also known as red tide, are a recurring problem in the coastal Gulf of
Mexico. These blooms have the capacity to inflict substantial damage to human and animal …

Marine phytoplankton form the base of marine food webs and are the driving force of the
marine carbon cycle, so understanding the dynamics of their blooms is critical. While near …

Effective evaluation of technological and operational approaches to reduce entrainment of
marine organisms at cooling water intake structures (CWIS) requires accurate organism …

Digital holography was used to characterize particle/plankton distributions, biophysical
interactions and 'patchiness' phenomena including 'thin layers' and harmful algal blooms in …

Classifying microplanktons in digital holographic images is challenging due to multitude of
factors. For instance, shifts in viewpoint can alter how microplanktons are perceived, while …

The aim of this dissertation is to achieve a thorough understanding and develop an
algorithmic framework for a crucial aspect of autonomous and artificial intelligence (AI) …

In this thesis, fundamental concepts of holographic reconstruction are applied to enhance
the imaging process of marine plankton. Digital holography is relevant in this context as it …
