Graduate Research Assistant in Spiesman Lab, working on BeeMachine, a project for the automated detection and identification of North America's bumblebees. I am working on dataset generation and model development, while also developing a tool for the automated monitoring of plant-pollinator interactions and generation of high-resolution mutualistic.

Atlanta

Developed MATLAB models of theoretical mutualistic systems to determine architectural drivers of ecological robustness. I am additionally used computer vision techniques to automate pollinator network sampling-- seeking to reduce the resources required to gather empirical pollinator interaction data while tremendously boosting its spatiotemporal.

I assisted in cataloging and preserving thousands of brain samples in Dr. Donna Maney's Birdbrain Lab.
