tropical biologist interested in plant ecology, biological invasions, conservation, biogeography, anthropogenic disturbance, climate change...https://bsky.app/profile/harrisia.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/harrisia.bsky.social/post/3mumnzgvxak2zI’d be excited to support someone applying for PRFB at the intersection of AI & biological invasions. We have datasets building on our recent ML work on predicting plant invasions, with opportunities in predictive AI, model robustness & transferability.
