Biodiversity technology and modelling
Developing cutting-edge technology for facilitating biodiversity monitoring
Satellite4Biodiversity - Large scale fast biodiversity observation from space
In this project, we combine environmental DNA data from Vigilife and remote sensing images to build the large-scale biodiversity observatory for the freshwater system. We aim at developing improved monitoring approach for biodiversity in rivers using a combination of remote sensing, eDNA metabarcoding data and machine learning driven model to monitor biodiversity temporally in a global scale and build a routine biodiversity observatory.
Robot-based automated collection of eDNA
In this project, we innovate the design, perception and operation of drones to advance applications of eDNA technologies for biodiversity monitoring. By leveraging these automated systems, we can overcome the limitations of manual sampling, reduce cost, and expedite data acquisition.
