Exploration of machine learning in camera trapping and bioacoustics
Time: 13:00–14:00, 8th July 2025 Camera trapping and bioacoustics are both methods of monitoring wildlife ecosystems. They both involve hardware and software development, data collection, data analysis and drawing of insights. In this seminar, we will look at how we designed and implemented low-cost hardware for camera traps and acoustic recorders in Kenya’s Mt. Kenya region.…

Liquid Crystalline Elastomers for Reversible Actuation and Energy Dissipation
Time: 14:00-16:00, 18th June 2025 Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are a versatile class of functional materials exhibitingexceptional properties, including large-stroke reversible actuation, anomalous mechanicaland vibration energy damping, and reversible pressure-sensitive adhesion. A defining featureof LCEs is their soft elasticity, characterised by a plateau of low, nearly constant stress during stretching, slow stress relaxation, and enhanced surface…

Measuring Behavioral Variations in Wild Animals Using 3D Computer Vision and AI
Time: 13:00, 15th May 2025 Intraspecific behavioral variation is a key driver of behavioral diversity in animals. However, studying such variation in wild populations remains challenging, particularly when multiple individuals interact in complex social contexts. While video recordings are commonly used to quantify social behavior, manual observations often lack the resolution needed to detect subtle behavioral differences…
