Daniela Abegg | Technical Assistant

Since 2021, I have been part of the PopEcol group as a data manager in the African Wild Dog Project, working mainly with the African Carnivore Wildbook. This AI-based graphical user interface tool is capable of detecting wild dogs within an image on the one hand and identifying them by individual on the other.

In 2023 I also started working as a teaching assistant for Prof Dr Arpat Ozgul.
