My PhD research takes an interdisciplinary approach, combining machine learning, bioacoustics, forest ecology, indigenous knowledge and sociology to investigate the role of technology in forest conservation. I was awarded a Knowledge Exchange grant for this work by the Cambridge Conservation Initiative for its originality and potential for change within the conservation field.
