Isla Camille Duporge

I am a Computational Ethologist using satellite and UAV remote sensing and deep learning to advance wildlife monitoring and reveal the mechanisms underlying animal movement behavior with a taxonomically broad focus on social animals. My research is highly collaborative, and I have been fortunate to work with outstanding scientists across a variety of ecosystems. I hold a Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Oxford and am currently a Research Fellow in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University Here. I have contributed to projects with multiple government agencies, including the U.S. Army Research Office, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) wildlife crime program, the Government of Saudi Arabia, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. I am a commercially certified operator of multicopter and fixed-wing UAVs, as well as an advanced nitrox-certified deep-water diver. Since 2017, I have been an Explorer with the National Geographic Society undertaking projects supported by the NG Exploration Technology Lab.
