Brian Whyte previously worked as Graduate Instructor at University Of California, Berkeley and PhD - "Social Recognition in Ants and Trematodes" at University Of California, Berkeley. Brian Whyte holds Doctor Of Philosophy - Phd, Animal Behavior And Ethology from University Of California, Berkeley.
With an 8-year background in animal behavior research, my skills are in experiments, statistics, simulations, machine vision, and public speaking/explaining science and data. My ultimate passion for science is to discover the truth through the noise, and while I honed this passion through my PhD research on social recognition in ants and worms, I now wish to return to the human world and solve problems with a team using data science and analytics.

A career timeline built from the work history available for this profile.
Berkeley, California, United States
Teaching assistant for life science classes for 7 semesters (Ecosystem Ecology, Global Change Biology, Intro Bio, Intro Entomology). Created and delivered my own lectures. Managed the performance of hundreds of students, mentoring them through research and writing projects.
Berkeley, California, United States
I studied how animals use information to decide who gets to be members of their societies. In ants, I found that the smell of their exoskeleton wax can possess small differences that are socially meaningful, but do not sacrifice the waterproofing function of this wax on their body surface. In trematodes, I proposed philosophical arguments for why.
Constance, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
I trained Convolutional Neural Networks to research collective pose estimation of trematode groups using Python, Tensorflow and DeepLabCut. This was the first case of anyone using ML methods to search for collective behavior patterns in parasitic worms. Financially sponsored by the German Academic Exchange Program (DAAD).
Aspen, Colorado, United States
Balanced education, entertainment, and safety while giving guided nature hikes throughout the Rocky Mountains to audiences of all ages.
Manabí, Ecuador
Designed and performed a point-sampling method to estimate the number of Mantled Howler Monkey groups at the Jama-Coaque Reserve in Ecuador. This required systematic trail walking from 5-11 am, using the estimated distance to each group howling event as a way to estimate population density. Used QGIS, Unmarked (R package), anecdotes, and model projections.
Knoxville, Tennessee, United States
Designed an agent-based evolutionary simulation (in R) of ant supercolony collapse, working as the biology consultant for a team of mathematics students and professors. This simulation was stochastic, and modeled spatial dispersal, population growth, recognition thresholds of friend vs. foe, and benefits/costs of warfare for multiple nests within.
