I’m wrapping up my time at iDiv & UFZ and will start looking for new opportunities soon. If you have projects where my expertise could be useful, feel free to reach out. I'm considering both new positions and freelancing opportunities after a much-needed vacation. 😊

Successes and limitations of pretrained YOLO detectors applied to unseen time-lapse images for automated pollinator monitoring
Pollinating insects provide essential ecosystem services, and using time-lapse photography to automate their observation could improve monitoring efficiency. Computer vision models, trained on clear c...

Why this matters: We explore what taxonomists can identify from challenging, field-captured images using a fixed smartphone setup. Understanding human limits helps define realistic AI classes and expectations.
