Interest:
My PhD research focused on the movement patterns and group dynamics of the zooplanktivorous damselfish Dascyllus marginatus. Using computer vision and Deep Learning techniques, I tracked these fish in the wild, in three dimensions. By analyzing their movement, I aimed to understand how they share foraging space and how they pursue their prey. .
As part of my MSc studies, I analyzed the movement patterns of flocks of Eurasian jackdaws (Corvus monedula) and developed a model to identify subgroups within coordinated flock flights.
