A collection of my research projects in AI, bioacoustics, and biodiversity conservation. All the code I produce is hoted on our institutional GitHub NINAnor

🤝 Collaboration

I'm always open to new collaborations and research opportunities. If you're interested in working together on AI for conservation or bioacoustic analysis, please don't hesitate to reach out!
