Immersive Science
Ahoy there :] I'm Oc (or Océane, pronounced O-cee-on) As a Ph.D. student at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UCSD, I'm keen on coastal reef/kelp ecosystem restoration (via acoustic enrichment), marine bioacoustics, self-supervised/reinforcement learning and novel methods we can generate to accelerate restoration at the intersection of these fields.
In a prior season, I was in the Responsive Environments group at the MIT Media Lab and before that, a Research Engineer at NOAA's Southeast Fisheries Science Center using deep learning to understand the impact of commercial fisheries on humans and the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem.
When not head-first in sea of code or spectrograms, I love to vocalize and play around on the ukelele or on a growing number of percussive instruments. As a science communicator, I love to think about ways we can make science more accessible via unexpected modalities, communally gathering and sharing our blue planet's stories.
