It’s always nice if you can use your technical skills for something good for our planet. I have this opportunity during work at Appsilon where from time to time we work on Data4Good projects. One such project was copepods/plankton project where I was doing segmentation of the oil sac in the Arctic plankton. This time I’d like to share something from the other pole of the globe.

Currently we work on detecting the Antarctic shags nests on the Antarctic islands. Together with Jędrzej Świeżewski and Joanna Kaleta we were cooperating with researchers from IBB PAS on this task. Checkout the engagement summary blog post on the Appsilon blog.

Some time ago, I’ve worked on an oil sac (energy reservoir) detection in copepods (kind of zooplankton) for Université Laval. Apart from presenting the results on the ML4Plankton conference I’ve published a detailed blog post on the Appsilon blog that I strongly encourage you to read!
