As part of a multidisciplinary team, you will develop a new way to track aviation insects that will revolutionize environmental science and help in contrast to the decrease in polls.

We will use our way to explore Bumblebee’s behavior, navigation and use of landscapes to better understand insect perception. The total grant covers the development of Microbattery. Aerobic design field trials and cognitive modeling. You will focus on machine learning, but you will participate in all fields. There are also opportunities to spin. For more details: Doctoral Information Paper

The team has extensive experience in studying Bumblebee’s behavior near the nest (1) But to better understand feed, we need the landscape level details. The direction of the project can be customized, but it can include the development and application of Bayesian ML approaches to conclude the path; Enter sensors; Classification of behavior; Active learning restricted to resources; Other Internet Applications; The development of microbial, field trials, and airline analysis.

Biological Supervisor

I have been working in the Bayesian ML field for 10 years, focusing on real world applications and developed many insect tracking techniques. In addition to an opportunity to conduct multidisciplinary research (with collaborators in EXATER, Sussex, etc.), you will gain experience and skills in high -end areas such as ML and AI.

About school/research group
