In the current biodiversity crisis, populations of many species have alarmingly declined, and
insects are no exception to this general trend. Biodiversity monitoring has become an …

Organisms have been shifting their timing of life history events (phenology) in response to
changes in the emergence of resources induced by climate change. Yet understanding …

Many applications use computer vision to detect and count objects in massive image
collections. However, automated methods may fail to deliver accurate counts, especially …

The exodus of flying animals from their roosting locations is often visible as expanding ring‐
shaped patterns in weather radar data. The NEXRAD network, for example, archives more …

AI has the potential to accelerate scientific discovery by enabling scientists to analyze vast
datasets more efficiently than traditional methods. For example, this thesis considers the …

We have developed a semi-automated system to annotate communal roosts of birds and
bats in weather radar data. This system comprises detection, tracking, confounder filtering …

My research in computer vision and machine learning focuses on finding effective ways to
combine human and computational effort, and statistical estimation to reduce the cost of …

Swallows and martins (family: Hirundinidae) are highly specialized aerial insectivores
which, like others of that guild, have been facing regional and continental population …
