I use underwater cameras and deep learning to develop automated systems that count river herring. My research is focused on understanding how fish populations adapt to environmental changes, and identifying effective management strategies.
My previous work involved studying anadromous Pacific Salmon populations in the context of climate change, where I explored the role of cardiorespiratory function in thermal adaptation and identified genetic markers associated with adaptive traits. My research has always been interdisciplinary, and I now integrate technology with my expertise in fish ecophysiology and conservation genomics.
I am excited to collaborate on studying river herring populations and generating insights that inform fisheries management and conservation policies, especially during this critical time of rapid environmental change.
