Anna is thrilled to be joining the PNW Bioacoustics Lab as a graduate student co-advised by Dr. Taal Levi of Oregon State University. Her research focuses on bioacoustics as a non-invasive tool for modeling ecosystem dynamics and population ecology. Anna describes herself as a ‘generalist’ researcher; by applying quantitative methods to bioacoustics data, she has been able to work on a variety of projects with different taxa, from analyzing African forest elephant communication to building machine-learning models for identifying bees! At OSU, Anna will use passive acoustic monitoring and remote sensing data (e.g., LiDAR) to study the bird communities of Pacific Northwest forests.
Anna grew up outside Boston, MA, and received a bachelor's degree from UMass Amherst. When she is not in the field or the lab, you can usually find Anna biking, hiking, reading, doing a crossword puzzle, or enjoying time with friends.
