ABOUT MEMy research is interdisciplinary, with an underlying theme of shark biomonitoring. I am developing machine learning classification programs to identify shark species from visual media, and I am building autopiloted 'smart drones' to spot illegal poaching vessels and shark silhouettes from the air. With data science techniques, I can characterizing shark populations by data mining observation records from social networks and online archives. And I am using molecular techniques to analyze environmental DNA in the Mediterranean Sea and California Coast.
Since 2019, I have specialized in these areas of study to remotely biomonitor shark populations with non-lethal, non-invasive, and cost-efficient methods. My previous research was discovering methods to boost resolution of the Aedes albopictus genome with molecular techniques such as Flourescent in situ Hybridization. |
