Projects
The projects collected here reflect different aspects of my work across marine research, biodiversity, citizen science, and technical infrastructure. Some focus on software and data workflows, others on collaboration, participation, or research methodology. What connects them is an interest in making complex, long-term work more understandable, workable, and practically useful.
Rather than presenting finished products, these project pages document evolving processes: ideas, decisions, experiments, and systems that continue to develop over time.
PelAtlas
Building a scalable, ML-assisted workflow for marine mammal photo-ID and capture–recapture studies, combining retrieval-based re-identification with human verification and active learning.
Otolith-based age determination for Baltic cod
A research project on machine learning–supported age determination of Baltic cod from otolith microscopy images. The work focuses on data consolidation, quality assessment, and the development of supervised models to support expert-based age reading.
Completed Projects
Dormant Concepts
Low-cost CTD sensor using OpenCTD and OSBK
Developing a low-cost CTD sensor based on OpenCTD and the SOOP Open Source Building Kit to lower barriers to marine data collection and enable citizen science deployments.
Smoke on the Water
Exploring links between wildfire smoke and marine habitats by integrating atmospheric and oceanographic data, with a focus on transparent analysis and environmental communication.
Species identification in sonar data using simulation-informed modeling
Investigating how environmental data and simulation-based priors can support species classification in fisheries sonar data, with a focus on sprat and herring in the Baltic Sea.
