Isla Camille Duporge

I am a Computational Ethologist studying how the application of satellite and UAV remote sensing, combined with deep learning, can improve wildlife monitoring, with a focus on social mammals. My research is highly collaborative, and I have had the good fortune to work with many excellent scientists across a variety of ecosystems. I hold a Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Oxford and am currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University [Here]. I continue to work closely with WildCRU. I have worked on projects with several government agencies, including the U.S. Army Research Office, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) program on wildlife crime, the Government of Saudi Arabia, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. I am a commercially certified operator of multicopter and fixed-wing UAVs, and an advanced nitrox-certified deep-water diver. Since 2017, I have been an Explorer with the National Geographic Society, working on projects supported by the NG Exploration Technology Lab.
