Tech4Animals is a multi-national, multi-disciplinary research team specializing in Animal-centered AI, computational ethology, and, particularly at our Northumbria branch, the role of technology in human-animal relations. We develop computational approaches for understanding animal behavior and affect and promoting animal welfare and well-being, and conduct critical studies assessing and advising how technology ought to be used in human-animal contexts. Our lab is spread across Israel, the UK, Europe, and Africa.
student projects at northumbria
At the Northumbria branch of Tech4Animals we work a lot with student projects that are driven by individual students' passion on real problems related to animal well-being and the use of animal technologies, from empirical research to ground the design of caregiving support apps, to designing artifacts to improve privacy awareness, to machine learning efforts to aid fundamental research.
Are you interested in working on a Tech4Animals Lab project for your undergrad or postgrad thesis at Northumbria? Get in touch with me!
