Engineer turned ecologist working towards integrating science and art through community building.
I study behavior of insects, mammals and birds using large-scale deployment of sensors and AI. Currently, I am working as a post-doc at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior and University of Konstanz. I also work as independent artist and conduct science outreach activities in collaboration with art institutions across the world. ⇩
