Research Assistant

My research focuses on the detection and classification of marine mammal sounds using artificial intelligence. To this end, I am collaborating with the Alfred Wegener Institute. The audio recordings are converted into spectrograms, which visualise the temporal and frequency structure of the sound events. Using these spectrograms, I train and investigate various deep learning and object recognition methods, including modern neural networks such as YOLO. The aim is to recognise and localise the sounds of different marine mammals in order to analyse large volumes of underwater recordings more efficiently and reliably.
