Laura Rodriguez

I am a Marine biologist, Conservationist, and National Geographic Explorer. I am interested in developing technologies for marine research, exploration, and solutions to environmental problems. I have worked in bioprospecting and looking for by-products from macroalgae.

Computer Science student looking to work for wildlife

Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used in the field to analyse information collected by wildlife conservationists, from camera trap and satellite images to audio recordings. AI can learn how to identify which photos out of thousands contain rare species; or pinpoint an animal call out of hours of field recordings - hugely reducing the manual labour required to collect vital conservation data.

Zooplankton Prosome and Lipid Sac Segmentation

A machine learning-based solution that can segment the Prosomes and Lipid sacs with sufficient accuracy helps to recognize the ecological plasticity of key Arctic copepods. It allows scientists to learn more about the relationship between the size and volume of two components of planktonic organisms: the prosome (the main body) and the lipid sac (energy reserves accumulated by copepods before winter).
