Aaron Murphy
I am a Physical Scientist at UMESC involved with projects to automate the detection of wildlife in imagery using machine learning, to expand and refine databases for invasive carp monitoring, and to collect data using uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). I also have experience in ecological modeling, GIS, and conservation biology.
My professional background includes work with invasive species at the Bureau of Reclamation and Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
