![]() In 2010, I successfully defended my MS thesis entitled "Recognition of Killer Whale Individuals from Passive Acoustics, An Application of Human Speaker Recognition". This research showed the viability of recognizing individual killer whales from their vocalizations. My past research projects have included work with autonomous underwater vehicles, cuttle fish pattern recognition, proxy sea surface temperature records from brain coral and analysis of oceanographic mooring data. I have enjoyed all of those projects and can only hope my future work remains as exciting. I have an immense curiosity for the marine sciences, and always enjoy learning something new. I have a smattering of other hobbies that frequently get neglected and generally include cooking, hiking, and biking. |
