Shoutout to my incredible lab mate, Martin! Such a rad paper!
New research reveals the extraordinary energy demands of humpback whale mothers, who travel over 3,000 miles without food to birth and nourish their 2,600-pound calves, a feat now further imperiled by climate change and marine heatwaves disrupting their critical food supply.

I’m thrilled to see my dissertation’s second chapter published in Conservation Biology. In the paper, we found that researchers can use high-performance identification algorithms to reduce the cost of population assessments without biasing abundance estimates. tinyurl.com/ne8tbpw3

Hi everyone! I'm a PhD candidate studying new tools for assessing stocks of whales and dolphins. Here is the first chapter of my dissertation, where we explore the strengths and weaknesses of a multispecies individual identification algorithm. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
A deep learning approach to photo–identification demonstrates high performance on two dozen cetacean species
Researchers can investigate many aspects of animal ecology through noninvasive photo–identification. Photo–identification is becoming more efficient as matching individuals between photos is incre...
