个人简介
My research is at the forefront of linking conservation science with quantitative tools from the field of artificial intelligence (AI). I develop AI methods to provide guidance on how to make smart conservation decisions under imperfect knowledge and resource constraints. During my PhD, I developed new methods to tackle complex optimisation problems for mobile robots using Markov decision processes (MDP). I discovered that MDP models can be an effective tool for improving decision-making in modern conservation science – teaching a robot to navigate utilizes the same mathematics as choosing the best conservation actions to save threatened species under uncertainty. Eager to contribute to conservation science, I changed career and turned towards decisions in ecology (2006). Combining my expertise in AI with ecological and economic models, I solve complex applied conservation problems in the face of uncertainty. The solutions I provide are optimal decisions that save money and allocate resources more efficiently. My work is in demand in applied pest management, health and conservation. For example, I have provided solutions to efficiently eradicate invasive weeds, control mosquito-borne diseases and protect threatened species from extinction.
I’m also the team leader of the Conservation Decisions team (CSIRO) a multi-disciplinary group with expertise in ecology, priority threat management, systematic conservation planning, applied mathematics, artificial intelligence, and decision theory. We are members of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Environmental Decisions and National Environment Research Program’s Research Hub for Environmental Decisions. Our motivation is to solve pressing global conservation problems. We do this by connecting ecological data with decision science to determine what actions to take, when and where to get the best outcomes for biodiversity conservation, while taking into account the many other competing needs of society.
