If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around, will a 🤖 hear it?*

I'm captivated with figuring out ways to digitize nature that might expand our knowledge and understanding of the complex interactions of biodiversity. Working alongside interdisciplinary teams of faculty and students, we design, engineer, and test new ideas for remote-sensing organisms and habitats using specialized cameras, environmental sensors, and robots.

Welcome to this virtual journal of explorations, inventions, and springboard for ideas that continue to capture my imagination. I hope you will enjoy these stories.

*Yes, a robot and a variety of other sensors will not only hear it; it will likely analyze the location, tree species, and impact zone: archiving valuable data for future understanding.
