Had a full-circle moment at the Ohio Celebration of Women in Computing #OCWiC this weekend! I first attended two years ago as a junior PhD student, fresh from my first field trip to Kenya. Now, as a PhD candidate, I returned to present my latest work after a second Kenya trip.

Super cool demo! I tested out the segmentation on some drone imagery of zebras I collected in Kenya a few weeks back - it worked really well!

I put together a short video to share what itโ€™s like doing field research in Kenya as a computer scientistโ€”testing autonomous drones, tracking wildlife, and working with an incredible team at the #WildDroneEU Hackathon in Ol Pejeta Conservancy ๐Ÿฆ“๐ŸŽฌ #WildlifeTech #Fieldwork

๐ŸŒ๐Ÿพ Greetings from Kenya! I'm here doing fieldwork with the #WildDroneEU Hackathon. We're an interdisciplinary research collaboration working to develop autonomous drones for wildlife conservation. Excited to share this adventure! ๐Ÿš๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿฆ“ #AI4Wildlife #FieldworkDiaries #ConservationTech #OlPejeta

๐Ÿšจ New Publication Alert! We deep dive into KABR: a dataset for ungulate behavior recognition from drone footage at Mpala Research Centre, Kenya. ๐Ÿฆ’๐Ÿฆ“ KABR features reticulated giraffes, plains zebras, and Grรฉvyโ€™s zebras with 10+ hours of annotated video. Explore: kabrdata.xyz

๐Ÿ“–Published๐Ÿ“– Our new Application paper presents Whombat, a user-friendly, browser-based interface for managing audio recordings and annotation projects, with several visualization, exploration and annotation tools ๐ŸŒŽ ๐Ÿงช Read more here ๐Ÿ‘‡ https://buff.ly/3DddoNt

Exciting news from Microsoftโ€™s AI for Good Lab: introducing Project SPARROW (Solar-Powered Acoustic and Remote Recording Observation Watch)โ€”a sustainable biodiversity monitoring solution that integrates edge AI and satellite tech to collect data autonomously. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿพ #AIforGood #Biodiversity

Counting down to winter break with three books on my must-read list: The Exceptions ๐Ÿ“– (thrilling women-in-STEM history), The Internet of Animals ๐Ÿพ (exploring tech & wildlife connections), and SPQR ๐Ÿ›๏ธ (inspired by my recent trip). What are you reading this winter? Any recommendations? ๐Ÿ“šโ„๏ธ
