Current research projects
Happy (or just creepy)? This was NOT Photoshopped!
Banda Islands, Indonesia (one of my favorite dive spots & in my top-five photos of all time)
1. Continue building machine-learning models for predicting coral survival.
2. Seagrass proteomics. Trying to understand how both abiotic and biotic stressors affect seagrass physiology.
3. Wrapping up a few coral husbandry projects with Taiwanese collaborator Dr. Tung-Yung Fan.
4. Continue developing AIs that can plan the optimal coral reef intervention.
